And as underwhelming as Starc has been thus far at least he's shown an ability to consistently shape the ball back into the right hander - the quintessential for any left armer. 

At least Australia is on the right track by picking these blokes instead of spinning their wheels with blokes who will never succeed consistently like Johnson et al.

Watch the tail put on 150 and get every drop and ounce of luck going there way.

It is the Australian teams way

Pattinson has a better forward defense than most in the top order

In Cummins and Pattinson they have a promising rotation to build around

If Australia are bowled out for under 100 again, it will be 4 times in 15 test matches, so said Mr Wow

Hughes should have been out for a duck....

LUCK - nothing more nothing less......

How many times has this guy been out for single figures only for the opposition not to review it...

I count now 3 times....

Some people are just born under a lucky star

I guess Warner will replace Hughes for Boxing Day with Watto coming back into the side

NZ have been by far the better team in this test series and actually deserve to win it 2-0

Turning points

Clarke bowled on no ball for 23 in 1st test in the 1st innings9NZ would have had a healthy 1st innings lead)

Hughes given not out on 0 in the 2nd test in the 2nd innings(Australia would have collapsed)




Well done NZ on your 2-0 victory
