Australia roaring cricket against New Zealand as both are re-growing

Australia and New Zealand are in team re-growing cultures, but Australia is a little bit ahead after grooming couple of debutant young monsters like James Pattinson and Pat Cummins.

The 2nd test ( had started on 9 December) between these two arouse, will be good for Australian selectors points of views for upcoming series against giant India. India is very positive in his test game after since West Indies series that they pocketed 2-0 clear margin.
New Zealand are chasing their first win in Hobart after a heavy defeats in the 1993 and two draw in 1997 and in 2001. But their record in Australia is now just two wins from 26 tests and only the most optimistic Ricky Ponting would give them much hope of improving that over the next few days.

Ricky Ponting is facing some hard luck with his bat and fortune, tho he has scored fifties in his each last two innings. Last time he scored a century was against Pakistan in early 2010 when he smashed 209 runs at his home ground Hobart. Ponting is preparing for what may be the seventh and last test on his home pitch, because there will be no test match between Australia and India in upcoming series that is going to be started on famous Boxing Day this month.

Overall, Australia had played 51 test matches so far against New Zealand with dominating 27-7 clear margin, while 17 test ended in draw. at their own soil Australia always shows out standing result against New Zealand. They had played 27 test so far against NZ with extra dominating leading 15-2, while just 10 test ended in draw.

Australia had won 12 test series against New Zealand, and in all these 12 series they have white-washed New Zealand. since 1993/94 Australia had played 8 test series against New Zealand, seven goes to Australian side while one ended in draw. ( Don't forget New Zealand will bounce back for draw in current 2011/12 series).

Now put all these lines one side and think for a while - They had been played mutually 21 test series (including current series 2011/12 ) and all these series were consist on three test matches or less. There is no test series between them that consist on four test matches or more - have a big cup of coffee and think Why???
