Australia fell from their No. 1 one-day ranking for the first time as Ross Taylor, Peter Fulton and Craig McMillan propelled New Zealand to their huge target of 337 with an over to spare to secure the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. Taylor’s century bettered the one Michael Hussey had made to set up Australia’s total, which until New Zealand’s chase was the highest ODI score at Eden Park.
Taylor built the platform with 117 before Fulton, and in particular McMillan, hammered Australia to all parts of the ground in the dying stages. McMillan’s 52 from 30 balls was telling after New Zealand went into the last ten overs with 91 needed.
