Ponting shines in crushing win: 1st ODI (Centurion)

Australia cruised to a 93-run win over South Africa in a rain-affected start to the ODI series.

Ricky Ponting (63 from 77 balls) was supported by Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey to guide the tourists to 183 for 4 from 29 overs, setting a target of 223.

The Australian attack, led by three wickets each to Pat Cummins (3-28) and Mitchell Johnson (3-20), worked hard to bowl out the Proteas in the 22nd over for 129.
