Ricky Ponting was said to be in a patchy form. However, looking at him bat the way he did on the first day at Kingston, Jamaica against the West Indies, one wonders whether the bad form story was actually a myth!

Ponting slammed a 158, Hussey scored another 50, where as Hodge is still batting with a fifty on board. Australia were 301/4 at stumps on the first day.

Earlier the Aussies won the toss and decided to bat first. Mathew Hayden was out with a heel injury, where as Michael Clarke had yet to arrive, and so Simon Katich and Brad Hodge took their places.

For the West Indies, Chris Gayle was not yet fit and so Sarwan took over the captaincy reigns. Off-spinner Amit Jaggernauth made his Test debut and scalped the prize wicket of Michael Hussey.

Just when you thought the whole idea of the IPL player auction couldn't get more crazy...

it has. The actual auction has taken place and is full of such bizarre contradictions and extravagent spending that you would think that there is no poverty in India and that the streets are paved with gold
