Australia 230 Bermuda President's XI 198 Australia notched their second successive win after manhandling a game but overmatched Bermuda President's XI by 32 runs at Lord's on Saturday.

Once again the local side fielded first -- a pre-match agreement also followed by St. George's on Thursday -- and once more the bowlers were subjected to severe punishment as an imposing score of 230 was set.

Needing to reply at 4.6 runs per over, Bermuda quickly fell behind the rate and as they strived to increase it later, taking the attack to the bowlers, wickets fell regularly and the visitors' target never remotely appeared threatened.

Of the local bats Jeff Richardson shone brightly, duplicating the cavalier approach displayed by his opponents in a merciless innings of 64 that included seven fours and two sixes in just 46 balls.

Earlier opener Curtis Jackson just missed reaching his first international half century, falling for 42 when he was bowled by left-arm seamer Brendon Julian.

Jackson, who plays regularly for Premier Division side Cleveland, started the Bermuda innings with captain Dexter Basden.

While never completely comfortable against a restrained attack, the pair gradually moved the total to 44 before Basden grew impatient against the tight spin of Tim May and was bowled for 26 trying to drive a well pitched delivery.

Joining Jackson was Ritchie Foggo and the latter immediately took a liking to May, slamming a six and a four during the off-break bowler's fifth over in racing to 14.

However, his moment of glory was short-lived as he twisted his right-knee completing a cheeky single with Jackson and needed to be assisted off the pitch.

Foggo would return after the fall of the eighth wicket, but failed to add to his score before being bowled by Paul Reiffel.

Meanwhile, Jackson continued to enjoy a charmed life, often swinging and missing and having numerous mistimed, upward strokes fall just out of harm's way until Julian struck the stumps.

The arena then became Richardson's stage and he enthralled the large crowd with an amazing power display.

Richardson was in flowing form and was particularly harsh on the likes of Mark Waugh and converted medium-pacer Greg Blewett, both of whom watched deliveries sent flying over the boundary ropes.

Such was the devastation caused by the right-hand batsman that Aussie skipper Mark Taylor was forced to return front-line bowlers Julian and Reiffel in order to stem the tide.

Richardson was eventually eighth out, bowled by Reiffel with the team total at 198, which would ironically be the final score for the Bermuda side.

The only other local batsman to reach double figures was Jason Lewis (12), while three scores of nought were recorded.

Hassan Durham, Garry Williams and Roger Blades all failed to get off the mark, with the trio facing a combined total of two balls. Such was the misfortune of Blades that he did not receive a single delivery before being run out.

For the Australians, Reiffel recorded impressive figures of four-for-21, Mark Waugh returned two-for-20, while Julian and May claimed one-for-29 and one-for-28 respectively.

During the Australian innings youngster Justin Langer once again propped up the order while notching the tour's first half century, his 55 comprising three fours and two sixes after he arrived at the crease at number seven.

Other batting notables for the visitors were Greg Blewett (40), Mark Waugh (30) and Ricky Ponting (39).

Emerging as Bermuda's best bowler was Del Hollis, who seized two wickets, that of Waugh and Blewett, at a cost of just 17 from his allotted 10 overs.

Basden likewise claimed two scalps. His, however, cost 28 runs in four overs, while Blades, Williams, Shannon Warner, Durham and Jackson all took one wicket.
