Ricky Ponting joined Don Bradman in scoring his third double-century of the year as Australia piled the runs and misery on India in the third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. Ponting hit a Test-best 257 - the fourth highest Test score at the ground - as Australia amassed a first innings score of 558 and a 192-run innings lead in their bid to level the series at 1-1 with two days left. The captain-in-waiting bettered his previous highest Test score of 242 in last week`s second Adelaide Test with another epic innings of discipline and concentration over almost 10 hours at the crease.
