    Ponting shines in Twenty20 debut
    Twenty20 International, Auckland
    Australia 214-5 v New Zealand



    Ponting's range of shots proved too much for the bowlers

    Ricky Ponting hammered an unbeaten 98 off 55 balls as Australia totalled 214-5 in the first men's Twenty20 international against New Zealand.

    The Australian skipper struck five sixes and nine fours and received good support from Andrew Symonds (32), Simon Katich (30) and Mike Hussey (31).

    Kyle Mills was the pick of the New Zealand attack, taking 3-44.

    Both sides took the field wearing retro uniforms, the Kiwis opting for the cult beige kit of the early 1980s.

    Excellent. Got to see pics of the NZ in Beige again :D

    NZ 170 all out....
    but the second last ball of the NZ innings is a throwback to the most controvertial trans-Tasman incident ever on a cricket pitch....

    19.5 McGrath to Tuffey, one run, drives down the ground
    NZ looking for 45 off this ball
    McGrath rolls the ball down the pitch underarm
    Billy Bowden gets out the red card
