Another Aussie canter

AFp, Hobart
Skipper Ricky Ponting is looking within his team for intense competition to steel Australia after another lopsided Test cricket win over the once-great West Indies.
Australia cantered to a nine-wicket victory on the final morning of the second Test here Monday to retain the Frank Worrell Trophy for a sixth straight series after a massive 379-run victory in the opening Brisbane Test.
There are concerns that the lack of competition will harm Australian cricket and leave it under-prepared for sterner challenges as they experienced in this year's Ashes series loss to England.
The Australians, who held a match-winning 257-run innings lead after the Caribbean tourists mustered only 149 on a perfect batting pitch on day one, had to chase down just 78 runs for victory after the West Indies forced the match into a fifth day through the batting of Dwayne Bravo (113) and Dinesh Ramdin (71) on Sunday.
There is one more Test to play
against the under-achieving West Indies in Adelaide later this week before a three-Test home series with South Africa, starting next month.
"I am not worried about that at all. If you look at how we've gone about our Test cricket we have had lots of intensity about the way we played and I think that's because of our training and preparation," Ponting said.
"It's up to us to generate that competitiveness with our training. That's one thing we learned coming back from the Ashes, that we had to make our training as competitive as we possible can.
"When I go to training I want to be facing (Brett) Lee, (Glenn) McGrath, (Nathan) Bracken and (Shane) Warne and I want them at their best to practice so I can get something out of it going into the next game.
"We try to have everything as intense and competitive as we possibly can."
Australia ambled to another comprehensive victory, but Ponting praised their fight and character from the disastrous opening day.
"The Windies had a couple of very good days as the Test progressed. To be bowled out for 149 and then have our openers score centuries the game
was pretty much over as far as we were concerned but not as far as they were," he said.
"They batted very well yesterday afternoon, the two young guys (Bravo and Ramdin) played exceptionally well and probably showed a lot of us how good a batting wicket it was.
"They've put their hands up this game and showed a lot of fight and character, which is what you come to expect from West Indies cricket teams."
The Australians had a lot of positives out of the match, primarily through their two batting newcomers, Mike Hussey and Brad Hodge.
Hussey claimed man-of-the-match honours after scoring 137, while Hodge looked compact in compiling his 60 on Test debut.
"The majority of our bowlers have done better than our batting group with the exception of Mike, Brad and Matty (Hayden).
"For our bowlers to bowl the West Indies out for 149 on day one on that wicket was an exceptional effort.
"It was great to see Mike get the man-of-the-match award, make his first hundred and Brad Hodge to fit in and play as well as he did at Test level. There are lots of positives to come out of this game."
The world's top-ranked pace bowler McGrath was another strong man-of-the-match contender on a predominantly good batting pitch taking match figures of 6-60 off 48 overs with 22 maidens.
