Typical Australian this win. Ruthless in finishing off matches, they never let NZ off the hook, and dominated non stop from the very moment Clarke and Martyn got together to bat. Very dissapointing performance from the Kiwi batsmen second time around though, not doubt about that. I was hoping after their competetive first innings total they could at least take the game in the last day, but they didn't even come remotely close to that.

But must have been good bowling by Pigeon, Dizzy and Warnie, especially since I thought it looked like a pretty decent wicket to bat on. To get them shot out for less than 100 on a wicket that was so comfortable for batting even McGrath and Gellespie managed to score 50s...that just tells me two things a)NZ captitulating badly under pressure b)Australia bowling very well.
