Down Under Cricket

This was some sort of day for New Zealand.

Ross Taylor equalled Nathan Astle record for the most ODI hundreds for New Zealand

Trent Boult completed a career-best six-wicket haul.

New Zealand regained the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.

They jumped to No.3 on the ODI rankings and wrapped up an eighth consecutive

bilateral one-day series win at home.

And they did it all in front of a sell-out crowd at Seddon Park.

Against this Australian outfit , New Zealand's efforts were enough.

The day, the series, and the trophy were theirs  8)

Consecutive losses for Australia in completed ODIs away from home.

ODI innings in which three of Australia's top-seven batsmen made DUCKS

Peter Handscomb Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner were out for zilch  :-[
