Aussies Make It Kingston Double

Captain Ricky Ponting and opener Matthew Hayden each contributed half centuries as Australia thrashed the West Indies by eight wickets in Kingston to take a 2-0 lead in the seven-match limited-overs international series.

Having bowled the home side out for a mere 163, with Glenn McGrath taking four for 31, the Australians coasted to victory and reached 166 for two after 35.1 overs.

Hayden was caught on the boundary for 51, but Ponting stayed until the end and had 57 to his credit when Andrew Symonds hit the winning boundary.

The tourists won the Test series 3-1 and look set to inflict a similarly damaging defeat on the ailing West Indies in the one-day games before leaving the Caribbean.
