CRICKET:Andrew Symonds and Brad Haddin powered to 87 runs apiece to set up Australia's convincing, 84-run win over India in the second one-dayer in Kochi and avenge last month's Twenty20 World Cup semi-final defeat.

Australia, playing their first full one-dayer following their long break after claiming a World Cup hat-trick in April, overcame early trouble to amass 306 for six on being asked to bat first.

India, on a high since winning the Twenty20 title, were all out for 222, conceding a 1-0 lead in the seven-match series which began with a rain-abandoned fixture.

The third game will be played in Hyderabad on Friday.
