Handsome tribute

Australia captain Ricky Ponting has paid a handsome tribute to Nasser Hussain after the Englishman's decision to stand down as his country's one-day captain. "I think he has done a good job for England as captain in both forms of the game during a difficult period," Ponting said. "He has been under a lot of pressure but he has been a good leader and a tough player."

England have gone 14 matches without a win against Australia in one-day cricket, their latest defeat coming in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.
