New Zealand in Australia Cricket Series 2008

AUS v NZ, 1st Test, Brisbane: Australia thrash New Zealand by 149 runs (AUS 1:0)

Overcoming the disgrace on the Indian tour, Australian team on Sunday put up a clinical show to wrap up the New Zealand second innings to register a comfortable 149-runs victory in the first Test at Gabba.
Resuming on 143 for six, chasing an unlikely 327 to win, the visitors could only last 10.3 overs on the fourth day. Left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson finished with his first five-wicket haul (5/39) in Tests, with key wickets of topscorer of both the innings Ross Taylor (75) and captain Daniel Vettori (10) before cleaning up Chris Martin to bundled out the tourists for 177.
The loss also highlighted the proverbial chronicle in New Zealand cricket. They had the advantage during the early part of the Test but missed the opportunity to nail the Aussies with Simon Katich hitting an unbeaten 131 runs to steer Australia from trouble.
New Zealand were up against the odds from the start of their chase. This would have been a record at the Gabba if the Kiwis managed to do the job as the highest run chase was accomplished by home team (236 for seven) against West Indies in 1951-52 series.

India capped a tight bowling display to record a crushing 172-run victory over Australia in the fourth and final Test and wrap up the series 2-0 in Nagpur.
Australia was bowled out for 209 on the final afternoon as they chased an unlikely 382 to suffer their first Test series defeat since the 2005 Ashes in England. It was also India's first Test series win over Australia in seven years as they clinched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma was named man of the series. Matthew Hayden alone sustained his team's slim hopes with a bold 77.
Off spinner Harbhajan Singh was the highest wicket-taker with 4 for 64, while leg spinner Amit Mishra (3 for 27) and Sharma (2 for 31) provided valuable support.
