First win over India...

Australia captain Michael Clarke steered his side to a nine-wicket victory over India in their Twenty20 international at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

After skittling the world champions out for just 74, with Nathan Bracken taking three wickets and Irfan Pathan's 26 the only score in double figures, Clarke then scored 37 of Australia's runs needed for victory.

With Greek dance music booming out over loudspeakers, and the 84,041 near-capacity crowd clapping along -- including the members in the exclusive Melbourne Cricket Club seating -- Australia sprinted to victory in 11.2 overs.
