BASSETERRE (St Kitts): Australia captain Ricky Ponting displayed dazzling footwork against Scotland on Wednesday to strike a fourth World Cup century and lead the world champions to a 203-run win in their opening Group A match.
Ponting lofted five sixes in his 113 from 93 balls, breaking Indian Saurav Ganguly’s previous World Cup record of 23. He also became the sixth person to score 1,000 World Cup runs with his opening boundary, a sweetly timed on drive.
