Trounced by the Aussies

So, Ricky Ponting (111*) and opener Shane Watson (136*) blew us away in the Champions Trophy semi-final in Supersport Park Centurion (Verwoerdburg) with a nine-wicket win and 8.1 overs to spare. Indeed, they showed their ultimate superiority and should doubtless go on to win the tournament. Ponting joined India's Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka by being only the third batsman to reach 12,000 one-day international (ODI) runs.

Now who won The Ashes this summer? Let us ponder on that ... or we can let The Mail Online remind us here how they celebrated.
