    Michael Clarke (81) and Australian captain Ricky Ponting (54) led their team to a respectable 279-9 against a fiesty West Indian attack in the first DLF Cup one-dayer yesterday.

    Clarke, playing in his 83rd limited-overs game, brought up his 18th one-day 50 off 57 balls as Australia shook off the rust accumulated since April when they last played an international series.

    Ponting, who won the toss and opted to bat, hit a brisk 54, including nine fours, in a 97-run partnership with Simon Katich after Phil Jaques had fallen cheaply.
