Tasmanian captain Ricky Ponting posted his highest domestic one-day score to lead the Tigers to a bonus point victory over Western Australia at the WACA tonight.

Ponting continued his gluttonous start to the summer by smashing 102, helping the Tigers to 5-196 one ball into the 40th over.

Shaun Young (28no) and Jamie Cox (2no) steered the Tigers past WA's 6-195 with five balls to spare before the cut-off for the bonus point.

Ponting's previous best was an unbeaten 87 against South Australia at the Adelaide Oval in 1995-96.

His knock included 13 fours and two sixes and came off just 98 deliveries.

Ponting's impressive early season augurs well for the upcoming Test and one-day series against New Zealand and South Africa.

But an injury to Australian team mate Damien Martyn has given the national selectors an anxious wait with the Test series just two weeks away.

Martyn hurt his thigh during a gutsy 108 run knock for WA.

He struggled for 190 minutes before holing out to Jamie Cox off David Saker in a bid to chase quick runs, needing a runner for his final six overs.

The Australian number six played a lone hand in the Warriors' innings of 6-195 and faces a fitness test tomorrow before being considered for selection for the Pura Cup clash between the teams starting here on Friday.

Despite centuries to the two internationals, Tigers paceman Damien Wright earned man of the match honours for a controlled ten-over spell that netted 2-22.

The Warriors looked set to make a massive total when Adam Gilchrist and Martyn clubbed twenty off the first two overs.

But that's as long as the blazing start lasted before Tasmania struck back.

Wright removed Simon Katich and Adam Gilchrist for five each and Saker also claimed Justin Langer for one.

Ponting praised Wright's efforts after the match describing it as the ideal one-day spell.

"I thought our bowlers were brilliant today, Wright and Saker early were pretty good," he said.

"Damien Wright bowled as good as he basically can bowl.

"He bowled a lot of balls to Marto (Martyn), whose a world class player and a lot of those were dot balls."

Ponting also admitted it was good to have finally notched a century in domestic one-day cricket.

"I've got a pretty ordinary record in domestic cricket actually," he said.

"That was my first hundred tonight so that was pretty satisfying."
