ABC Sport - Cricket - Ponting reigns supreme at MCG

"A Ricky Ponting double ton and two late wickets have allowed Australia to take a stranglehold on the third Test against India with two days to play at the MCG. Vice-captain Ponting posted a Test-best 257 on day three to lead his side to 558 all out before the tourists slumped to 2 for 27 at the close of play, still 165 runs behind. Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly (6 not out) shielded the out-of-form Sachin Tendulkar from a rampant home attack by elevating himself to fourth in the batting line-up, and he and Rahul Dravid (6) saw the team through to stumps."
