It seems when it comes to transtasman clashes the latest trend is New Zealand winning in a thriller.
The Black Caps one-wicket victory over Australia in Saturday's Cricket World Cup pool match is just the latest roller-coaster ride between the two sporting nations.
The All Blacks' last victory over Australia
was also a thriller with New Zealand stealing a win in the final play of the test at Suncorp Stadium thanks to a Malakai Fekitoa try and a Colin Slade conversion. Final result - All Blacks 29 Australia 28.
Just a few weeks later the Kiwis pulled off a stunner against Aussie rivals the Kangaroos in the Four Nations final in Wellington. But as the Aussies will tell you - they were robbed. The Kangaroos were denied a try in the final seconds when English referee Phil Bentham ruled a forward pass from Dylan Walker to Sione Mata'utia.
The 22-18 victory was the Kiwis' first win against Australia on home soil since 2003 and only the second time they have won consecutive tests against the Kangaroos in 60 years.
