Travis in Indian stunner

WON BY A HEAD

TRAVIS HEAD was not even in India when Australia's World Cup campaign began.

But the selectors' faith paid off lavishly as his outstanding century led his country to glory for the sixth time.

Australia quietened the support from the 100,000-strong home crowd in Ahmedabad by downing a crestfallen India.

The stunning six-wicket victory means Australia extend their record as the most successful side in 50-over World Cup history. It also caps a six-month period in which they beat India to win the World Test Championship and retained the Ashes in England.
