MELBOURNE - Spinner Nathan Lyon grabbed four wickets as Australia completed a crushing 247-run victory on day four of the Boxing Day test against New Zealand on Sunday to claim an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
Australia’s unbeaten run against their trans-Tasman neighbours has now stretched to 25 years, leaving a battered and bruised New Zealand playing only for pride in the third and final test in Sydney this week. “We’re sharing the load. We can’t rely on too few and good teams have guys contributing throughout the list and we’re starting to do that.”
“They’ve got a fantastic attack with pace and bounce but their accuracy stood apart and they did seem to get more out of that surface,” said New Zealand skipper Williamson.“All round from our perspective we need to be better in all departments. We do need to be better come Sydney.” But Lyon broke the game open by capturing BJ Watling’s wicket for 22, ending a 72-run stand with Blundell with a venomous delivery that caught an inside edge on the way through to David Warner’s safe hands at leg slip.
Part-time legspinner Marnus Labuschagne wrapped it up by having Blundell out for 121, with Lyon taking a catch just above the grass.
