Australia shut World stars down by 93 runs

Afp, Melbourne
Australia, driven to atone for last month's Ashes failure in England, crushed the cream of world cricket to claim the opening Super Series one-dayer by 93 runs at Docklands stadium here Wednesday.
Criticised relentlessly since their return from the Ashes tour, the determined Australians sought redemption, compiling a competitive 255 for eight off their 50 overs and then running through the World XI for 162 in 41.3 overs.
The world champions were back to their upbeat best, with the bowlers hitting the pitch hard and the fielders buzzing about with purpose, although two outfield catches were put down.
Only Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara rose to the challenge, clubbing 64 off 96 balls in opening the innings.
England's Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff contributed 38 off 52 balls after being dropped in a sitter by Brett Lee on five.
All-rounder Shane Watson claimed 3-43 off 10 overs, Glenn McGrath had 213 off seven overs and Brett Lee 2-31.
The rousing victory set up Australia for a crack at the series in Friday's second game with the world team having plenty to do to keep the series alive.
The world team crumbled to 50 for three in the 13th over with McGrath snaring the wickets of Virender Sehwag (6 off 10 balls) and Jacques Kallis (8 off 23 balls) and left-armer Nathan Bracken getting the big wicket of Brian Lara for a duck.
Sangakkara was dropped by Simon Katich on 31, a two-handed chance running back in the deep before Bracken snared Lara for a two-ball duck in the same over.
Lee cramped up Rahul Dravid with a short-pitched delivery and offered an easy catch to Ponting in the covers for four off 14 balls, leaving the world all-
stars at 75 for four in the 19th over.
England's Kevin Pietersen, booed to the crease by sections of the 18,435 crowd, only scored two before being caught leg before wicket to Watson.
Sangakkara's daring innings ended to a low catch by Ponting at backward point off Watson, leaving his team at 101 for six in the 28th over.
Shahid Afridi, who came on as a super sub for Muttiah Muralitharan, went lbw to Symonds for two and Pollock was run out for five by a direct throw by Watson.
Flintoff's defiance ended on 38 when he holed out to McGrath running in from the ropes to give Watson his third wicket. Flintoff hit a six and two fours in his 52-ball knock.
It was all over when Vettori found Ponting backward of the wicket to be out for 15 with 51 balls left in the innings.
Australia earlier rallied to score 255 for eight after spinners Vettori SEE PAGE 13 COL 2
