AUS v NZ, 2nd Test, Adelaide Oval: Australia 535 beat New Zealand 270 & 203 by an innings and 62 runs

AUS v NZ, 1st Test, Brisbane: Australia thrash New Zealand by 149 runs (AUS 1:0)

Overcoming the disgrace on the Indian tour, Australian team on Sunday put up a clinical show to wrap up the New Zealand second innings to register a comfortable 149-runs victory in the first Test at Gabba.
Resuming on 143 for six, chasing an unlikely 327 to win, the visitors could only last 10.3 overs on the fourth day. Left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson finished with his first five-wicket haul (5/39) in Tests, with key wickets of topscorer of both the innings Ross Taylor (75) and captain Daniel Vettori (10) before cleaning up Chris Martin to bundled out the tourists for 177.
The loss also highlighted the proverbial chronicle in New Zealand cricket. They had the advantage during the early part of the Test but missed the opportunity to nail the Aussies with Simon Katich hitting an unbeaten 131 runs to steer Australia from trouble.
New Zealand were up against the odds from the start of their chase. This would have been a record at the Gabba if the Kiwis managed to do the job as the highest run chase was accomplished by home team (236 for seven) against West Indies in 1951-52 series.
