Reigning world champions India have shown that there may still be some fight left in this year's Commonwealth Bank ODI series by beating Australia by 4 wickets. Australia won the toss and Clarke sent in his team to bat. A revised batting lineup saw Warner and Ponting open proceedings for the Aussies. Ponting never looked comfortable and was caught early only registering 6 runs. Warner began to bed in when a brilliant piece of fielding led to a run out sending him home for just 18 runs. The Aussie captain Michael Clarke came in at first drop and looked very strong, smashing 5 boundaries in his quick fire 38. One of the highlights for the Aussies however was Peter Forrest who came to the crease and managed an impressive 66 which included 2 sixes and 5 boundaries. David Hussey top scored for the Aussies with a solid 72 from 76…

Australia has defeated Sri Lanka by five runs in a thrilling match at the WACA last night in front of 13,085 fans. The Aussies survived a tail-end surge from the Sri Lankan lineup who fell short in the closest match of the Commonwealth Bank Series to date. The Australian team were first to bat and posted 232 runs on the back of a great captains knock from Michael Clarke who managed to hit 57 off 88. At one stage, the Aussie's looked as though they would struggle to post a competitive score as the Sri Lankan bowlers had them at 8-192. Thankfully for the Aussie's however, McKay (25) and Starc (14) pulled together a tail end effort to give the Aussie's a score they could defend. The Aussie's were in total control when they had the Sri Lankan team against the ropes at 6-143 when all-rounder Angelo Mathews fought back…

Australia has secured the Border-Gavaskar trophy with an innings and 37 run defeat of India in the 3rd test at the WACA Ground. The final four wickets fell inside two overs with Ben Hilfenhaus taking three wickets in just 5 balls. The test was won inside 2 and a half days and represents a massive win for the Australian side. Man of the match honours went to batsman David Warner after his incredible batting performance. Warner managed to smash 180 runs off of just 159 deliveries, and someone may have forgot to tell Warner that it was a test match, and not Twenty-20. Heading into the 4th test, the blows kept coming for the Indian team after their captain M.S. Dhoni was been suspended for slow over rates. The International Cricket Council (ICC) made changes to the regulations in June 2011 defining that any captain that was fined for infringement…

Michael Clarke has led Australia to victory in his first test as Captain on home soil. New Zealand went down by nine wickets at the Gabba in Queensland. The Aussies bowled out the Kiwis in the 2nd innings for only 150 runs leaving only 19 runs for victory which they managed to do in just three overs. Twenty-one-year-old James Pattison was named the Man-of-the-Match after his sizzling performance in the second innings. In the first innings, the test debutante struggled with his line and length and even conceded 13 in his first over. In the second innings however, he came out firing on all cylinders. On the 2nd over of the day, Pattison took a triple-wicket maiden sending New Zealand to 5-28. This over was the turning point of the test match, and set up the Aussies for the win. Following the match, Pattison was ecstatic about his efforts. "It…
