Top 10 moments in trans-Tasman rivalry

The underarm delivery - 1981, MCG
New Zealand's Brian McKechnie was at long odds to hit the six runs needed off the final ball of the match to win their ODI in Melbourne, but Greg Chappell took no chances. The skipper ordered brother Trevor to bowl an underarm delivery, something New Zealand Prime Minister later Robert Muldoon called the "most disgusting incident I can recall in the history of cricket". Chappell has repeatedly apologised and expressed regret over the incident, but it remains one of the most divisive in the history of the two nations.

Kiwi revenge - 1982, Eden Park
A crowd of 43,000, which remains a record for a cricket match in New Zealand, turned out to jeer the Australians the first time they crossed the ditch following the underarm match. The hosts got up by 46 runs, despite a fighting century from public enemy No.1, Greg Chappell.

Australia's No.11 Mike Whitney, who finished his Test career with a batting average of 6.18, stood defiantly against legendary bowler Richard Hadlee to secure a thrilling draw in the Boxing Day Test. Hadlee took five wickets in each innings of the match, but couldn't get past Whitney, who blocked out the final over of the match before celebrating wildly.

NZ stun Aussies in Cup opener - 1992, Eden Park
Defending champions Australia were expected to easily account for co-hosts New Zealand in the tournament opener, but an under-prepared and over-confident unit led by Allan Border were caught unawares as a century by Martin Crowe and three wickets to Gavin Larsen lead the Kiwis to a 37-run win.

Warne falls just short - 2001, WACA
One of the better batsman never to score a Test hundred, Warne fell one run short when he picked out Mark Richardson in the deep off the bowling of Daniel Vettori. Replays later showed Vettori had overstepped and it should have been a no-ball, but it wasn't to be. Warne remains Test cricket's highest run-scorer to never have reached three figures, with 3154 runs from 199 innings.

McGrath and Gillespie fire ... with the bat - 2004, Gabba

After Michael Clarke had posted his first Test ton on home soil, Australia's tail-enders punished New Zealand's bowlers in a brilliant and at times comical (for Australian supporters) final-wicket partnership that resulted in both posting their first-ever Test half-centuries.

Brett Lee's beamer - 2005, Eden Park
New Zealand coach John Bracewell was fuming after a beam ball from Brett Lee struck Black Caps batsman Brendon McCullum. Lee apologised and was later cleared of any wrongdoing, but Bracewell said Lee should have been sent home. "It is the fourth time this season that he's beamed one of our guys and he's been apologetic every time he's done it. That's a lot of apologies," Bracewell said.

Neil Broom's controversial dismissal - 2009, WACA
Keeping up to the bowling of Michael Clarke in an ODI in Perth, Brad Haddin appeared to push his gloves in front of the stumps and knock off the bails of Kiwi batsman Neil Broom. Broom was given out bowled and New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori said after the match he felt Haddin should have made an effort to keep Broom at the crease. The 'keeper responded by labelling Vettori's response "poor" and "low".

New Zealand celebrated their first Test win on Australian soil in 26 years, getting up by seven runs despite centurion David Warner, playing just his second Test, carrying his bat in the final innings. Black Caps paceman Doug Bracewell was the star for the visitors, taking 6-30 as Australia lost their last eight wickets for 74.

Thriller in Auckland - 2015, Eden Park
One of the best 50-over matches in recent memory, New Zealand prevailed by just one wicket when Kane Williamson launched Pat Cummins over the long-on boundary for six. Having skittled Australia for just 151, thanks to five wickets from Trent Boult, the Black Caps appeared to be on track for victory when Brendon McCullum hit a 24-ball half-century. But an incredible six-wicket haul from Mitchell Starc, four of them bowled, almost helped Australia pull off a miracle.
