Aus 2-0 up... thanks to White and Watson

After thrashing Pak in the first ODI courtesy White, who scored a century, Aus did it once again and beat Pak once again by 140 runs in the second ODI. This Pakistani team is looking wayward, they batted well in the last ODI, but seemed lost in this one, their bowling was also not up to the mark apart from a few good performances by Afridi and Aamer.

In the first match, Pakistan put up a decent show by setting a target of 275 for Aus and they also took a few early wickets but then Cameroon White played brilliantly and scored a century and took Aus home easily with more than an over to spare.

In the second one, Watson started off brilliantly hitting the ball to every nook and corner of the field and score 69 off just 71 balls, but then Aus slowed down a bit and Cameron White accelerated a bit in the end and set a target of 268 for the Pakistanis. Then Aus started off well with their bowling also, thanks to a few good catches from White and Ponting and reduced Pak to 71 for 7. Then it was just a formality to finish the game up because Pak in no way gonna win the match from that point. Watson was awarded with the Man of the Match for his all round performance.
