We're ready for Ashes assault - Ponting

Ricky Ponting believes that Dan Cullen, the offspinner who impressed in his debut series against Bangladesh, will have a long and successful career for Australia

Shahriar Nafees, the Bangladesh opener, has been fined 20% of his match fees for dissent during the third one-day international against Australia at Fatullah

Michael Hussey, the latest Australian run-machine, has suggested that he prefers batting lower down the order and isn't particularly keen to open the innings in one-day internationals

Powered by a disciplined bowling performance which shot out Bangladesh for a disappointing 124, Australia chased down the meager target in style to complete a whitewash

The recent one-day batting collapses have left both Habibul Bashar and Ricky Ponting searching for answers.

Andrew Symonds produced a confidence-coated hundred as Australia recovered from a three-wicket burst from Mashrafe Mortaza to get to 250

Mohammad Ashraful, Bangladesh's middle-order batsman, has been dropped from the squad for the second one-day international against Australia at Fatullah tomorrow

Brad Hogg says he has no intention of giving up his mantle as Australia's leading one-day spinner to Dan Cullen, the rookie offspinner, before next year's World Cup

Habibul Bashar has admitted that losing quick wickets at the top, which deprived Bangladesh of some valuable runs, made the difference between victory and defeat in the end in the first one-dayer at Chittagong
