Rain ruins first India-Australia ODI

The first one-day international between India and Australia was called off following heavy showers on Saturday with the visitors in a strong position with a score of 307 runs for seven. Michael Clarke hit a career-best 130 to give the world champions an excellent chance of victory. India, replying to Australia's mammoth total, were nine for the loss of Sachin Tendulkar's wicket after 2.4 overs when showers halted the day-night game.
