Australia clinched a record-breaking 12th consecutive ODI victory last night with a dramatic win over England at St George's Park, South Africa.
Australia was chasing just 205 for victory but their winning streak looked set to end when England, spearheaded by Andy Caddick, had the World Cup favourites reeling at 8/135 in the 38th over. It took an unbeaten ninth-wicket stand of 73 between Michael Bevan (74*) and Man of the Match Andy Bichel (34*) - who had also claimed 7/20 with the ball - to bring Australia home with two balls to spare and surpass the 11 straight ODI victories set by the West Indies.
