maiden one day ton is pretty hot...

Openers Adam Gilchrist and Simon Katich shared a stand of 196 to set Australia up for a nine-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the deciding VB Series final.

Gilchrist hit 122 from 91 balls, while Katich (107) completed a maiden one-day ton as Australia reached a target of 267 with 27 balls left in Brisbane.

Gilchrist survived a drop on 20 when Sanath Jayasuriya fumbled at long off.

Sri Lanka had stumbled to 28-2 before Mahela Jayawardene (86) joined Kumar Sangakkara (59) in a century stand.
