Cricket:Australia beat England by 57 runs in the seventh and final one day international in Perth to complete a 6-1 series rout. Batting first after winning the toss, Australia were in some trouble at 103-4, but a stand of 95 between Adam Voges and David Hussey helped the hosts post a competitive 279-7.

Voges smashed 80 from 72 balls while Hussey made a run-a-ball 60.

England were quickly in trouble as openers Andrew Strauss and Steven Davies were both dismissed without scoring, before a triple-strike from paceman Mitchell Johnson devastated the middle order and reduced the tourists to 64-5.

There was no coming back from there and despite a defiant career-best unbeaten half-century from Michael Yardy, England came up well short once again.
