So a competitive but perhaps sub-par total for Australia there on a
very flat pitch
They got off to an absolute flyer with Gilchrist with smashing them
everywhere
But Gilchrist's dismissal sparked something of a collapse
Daniel Vettori the star bowler by taking wickets and restricting
runs at the same time
Lehmann and Clarke were able to stop the rot and put together a
handy partnership, keeping the runs ticking over at a steady rate
in contrast to the earlier fireworks from Gilchrist
But all in all, the New Zealand bowlers have taken the honours in
this afternoon session
Chris Cairns also a real stand out by taking wickets in both the
early and late overs

New Zealand wins a topsy-turvy match to take a 1-0 series lead
Australia's total of 246 always appeared to be a bit below par on
this pitch
Astle and Sinclair looked to have things well under control before
Sinclair's controversial run out sparked a middle order collapse
Hamish Marshall did steady the ship but his lack of boundaries
meant they could never get quite on top of the required run rate
With three overs to go and New Zealand still needing 32 runs it
looked like Australia might just come away with this one
But Michael Kasprowicz produced an over straight from his
nightmares, costing 22 runs
From there it was pretty smooth sailing in the last two overs to
victory
