HARARE, OCT 23: Mark Waugh and Damien Fleming spearheaded Australia to their second successive thumping victory over Zimbabwe today, winning by a humiliating nine wickets.Waugh's 106 in the first match in Bulawayo on Thursday helped Australia to an 83-run victory, but his 54 not out at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday was overshadowed by Damien Fleming and the rest of the seam attack who dismissed the home side for just 116.In reply the tourists reached 117-1, losing just the wicket of Adam Gilchrist (18) before Waugh and Ricky Ponting (31 not out) finished the game with 21.3 overs to spare.Man of the Match Fleming was virtually unplayable after Australia won the toss and chose to bowl, finishing with an impressive return of 3-14 from his 10 overs on a pitch that offered unexpected seam movement and swing after overnight rain and overcast skies.Only Trevor Madondo, batting at number three in his third One-Day International, made an impression in the top order with 29 from 56 balls afterreceiving 27 deliveries from Fleming before he opened his account.Madondo struck four fours and a straight six off Tom Moody during a fourth wicket stand of 53 with Grant Flower (17) but the next highest stand was just 18 for the last wicket between Andy Blignaut and number 11 David Mutendera (10).Australian captain Steve Waugh may have set a new ODI record during Fleming's final over, bowled to Mutendera, when he set the entire field in the slip cordon.Younger brother Mark, meanwhile, moved to within 30 runs of becoming the first Australian to reach 7000 one-day runs. He will have the chance to reach the milestone when the third match is played at the same venue tomorrow.SCOREBOARDZimbabwe: Neil Johnson c Ponting b Fleming 2, Alistair Campbell c Waugh b Dale 5, T Madondo c Warne b Moody 29, Andy Flower b Dale 0, Grant Flower c Gilchrist b Martyn 17, Murray Goodwin c Gilchrist b Martyn 11, Gavin Rennie c Gilchrist b Moody 0, Andrew Blignaut not out 21, J Rennie c Gilchrist bFleming 5, Andy Whittall c Ponting b Fleming 0, D Mutendera b Symonds 10.
