WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We beat Australia!!! Aaaah I can't believe it!!
I wasn't even alive when we last beat them in Australia!!
This has got to be one of the greatest moments in NZ cricket history. That comeback was absolutely ridiculous! Aussie were 159-2 at one point cruising to victory. We got the last 8 wickets for only 74 runs
Doug Bracewell take a bow son! Figures of 6-40 today won us the match. Exciting prospect for NZ, especially considering he's only 21 years old!
Also have to say Ross Taylor got his tactics spot on today. His field placings were great, the fact that he kept faith in Bracewell and Southee to take the wickets, he didn't crack under the pressure at all. He did well with the DRS today too. Overall brilliant captaincy!
What a win!! I'm so proud of the boys. YESSSSS!
BLACKCAPS!

yeah congrats but i really felt for Nathan Lyon. he strikes me as a real nice guy and to see him fall so close to the line was to say the least unfortunate...
but well done new zealand !!! may this be the start of the black caps revival in test cricket

It definitely was one hell of a match. Aussie looked like they were easily gonna win it after day 1 and day 3, but our bowling really stepped up when it mattered
Yeah Nathan Lyon had the whole of NZ worried for a bit there. Although i gotta say, when he was given out for LBW and he reviewed it, it looked like the ball hit him in front of leg, but the DRS showed that it was hitting him outside... so i'm not too sure about the accuracy of the DRS at times
