Stats highlights from the sixth ODI between India and Australia in Nagpur.
This was Australia's 52nd 300-plus score in ODIs, which is the most by any team; Pakistan and India are next with 41 each. Australia have also won each of the nine games in which they have scored more than 300 against India. Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting both went past 1500 ODI runs against India, becoming the first Australians to do so. At the end of the game, Gilchrist has 1549 runs against India, 38 more than Ponting's 1511. Ponting also became the first Australian to go past 1500 against two teams - he already aggregates 1515 against New Zealand. The 140-run stand between Sachin Tendukar and Sourav Ganguly was their 21st century stand for the first wicket in ODIs, and their 26th for all wickets in ODIs. The pair also have 43 fifty-plus stands for the first wicket, which equals Hayden and Gilchrist's record, though they only have 16 century stands and 27 fifties. Tendulkar has been involved in 81 century stands in ODIs, easily the highest. Ganguly is next with 65. Yuvraj Singh didn't score many, but it was enough to take his tally for the year to 1000, making him the eighth batman to enter the club in 2007, after Hayden, Ganguly, Tendulkar, Ponting, Mahela Jayawardene, Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood. India's 299 was the sixth time a team has fallen one short of 300 in ODIs; India have managed it on exactly half of those occasions.
