All over in the first session. Won by 172 runs.

Thought it was very disappointing that they didn't follow on given NZ were bowled out in 43 overs 1st innings and near stumps too.

Great knock by Green but Lyon also stiff to miss out on MOM given his top score 2nd innings and 10 wickets.

Exciting finish and great match overall.

We’ve got the wood over NZ in test matches no doubt about that.

31 years since the Kiwis last beat us in a test match on their home deck.

Aussies 7/281 ..... Carey 98*, Marsh 80, Cummins 32*

Aussies win the series 2-0.

Hopefully after his 4 underwhelming tests as an opener the Steve Smith opener experiment is over

His dismissals have been to a point embarrassing

The only things that have been more embarrassing is his constant reviewing of his LBW dismissals

Rapt with the win, exciting finish.

Slightly annoyed that Cummins hit the winning runs and Carey missed a century - he bloody deserved it.
