It was a thrilling finish to today’s second ODI at the ‘Cake Tin’ in Wellington between Australia and a resurgent Black Caps.

The Kiwi’s turned up, cleaned the cobwebs from their mental cupboards, and gave the run chase a worthy effort.

The difference between the sides today was a tiny crack compared to the mighty chasm on Saturday. In the end though Australia managed to land on the right side of the crack, and don’t you just hate how the best teams in the world have a happy knack of doing that time after time?
