Flashback: 2005 Australia vs World XI

2nd ODI

Adam Gilchrist sweeping as Kumar Sangakkara watches on

Again, Australia won the toss and Ricky Ponting elected to bat first. The side amassed a huge total of 328 runs from their 50 overs. With the side losing just four wickets, notable contributions were made by Adam Gilchrist (103), Ricky Ponting (66), Damien Martyn (54) and Simon Katich (47).

The World XI innings started promisingly. Chris Gayle scored a half-century from just 48 balls as the World XI reached 125 in the 17th over.

However, after Gayle's dismissal, they consistently lost men due to poor running between the wickets and a few soft dismissals. The World XI ended up being skittled out for 273, meaning Australia won by 55 runs in the second ODI.
