Well, Australia will be very happy with a complete performance in this first test match. A magnificant century from Clarke in the first innings, which won his the man of the match award, with great support from North who also made a century under pressure really set up the game. The New Zealanders showed a lack of application in their first innings as Doug Bollinger bowled brilliantly to ensure the follow on was enforced. The second innings from the New Zealand batsman was a huge improvement with a fine century to McCullum and good support from McIntosh, Vettori and Tuffey. But, it was never going to be enough as the Australian openers made short work of the small fourth innings target of 106 to win the game by lunch on day 5. To add to the disppointment, Tuffey has broken his hand whilst batting and will be out for a number of weeks. From Wellington, this is Simon Allen signing off, thanks for joining us here at Cricinfo and we look forward to your company in Hamilton on Saturday for the second test.
