The England captain also claimed two wickets and shared in a 140-run partnership with Marcus Trescothick as The Aussies suffered a rare defeat.
“We were outplayed,” said a gracious Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting, who aw his side total 259 for 9 in their 50 overs on a superb wicket in the Midlands. England will now face either Pakistan or the West Indies in Saturday’s final at The Oval. |
