Trent Boult became Test BLACKCAPS number 253 when he was a late call up to replace the injured Daniel Vettori.
You have to go back to 1992-93 to find New Zealand's last win against the old foe, New Zealand winning by five wickets at Auckland. Australia has won 16 Tests in the meantime and 6 have been drawn. New Zealand's last win in Australia was at Perth during the series win in 1985-86.
New Zealand have now played 367 Tests, winning seventy including eight against Australia.
This is the BLACKCAPS closest winning margin when batting first, the previous closest being 27 runs against the West Indies in 2005-06. All of New Zealand's previous seven wins against Australia have come when batting second.
You only have to go back two Tests against Australia to when New Zealand last led them on the first innings. On that occasion, in the second Test at Hamilton in 2009-10, the Black Caps took a firstinnings lead of 71 but still ended up losing by 176 runs.
Australia have only twice before been dismissed by New Zealand for less than the 136 in their first innings. Their match aggregate of 369 is their lowest against the BLACKCAPS, ten less than at Wellington in 1989-90.
Doug Bracewell's figures of 6-40 are the equal seventh best for New Zealand against Australia but only Daniel Vettori with 7-87 at Auckland in 1999-00 has better figures in the second innings.
James Pattinson is only the second Australian bowler after Dennis Lillie to have taken successive five wicket bags against the Black Caps. Lillie achieved the feat twice during the 8 Tests he played against New Zealand.
Doug Bracewell hasn't taken consecutive five wicket bags but of New Zealand bowlers who havetaken a 'five for' on debut only Bruce Taylor has taken a second one more quickly. Taylor scored a century and took five wickets on debut in India in 1964-65 and followed that up by taking another five wicket bag in the next Test. Tim Southee, who took five wickets against England on debut has yet to take another 'five for' in his next 14 Tests.
David Warner is the fourth Australian batsman to bat through a Test innings against the BLACKCAPS. The previous players to do so are Ian Redpath, David Boon and Simon Katich. No New Zealand batsman has achieved this feat against Australia.
Phil Hughes was c Guptill b Martin in all four Australian innings during this series. This is certainly a record number of consecutive dismissals in the same manner in New Zealand Tests.
Chris Martin supported Trent Boult in a last wicket partnership of 23 in the BLACKCAPS second innings. With a winning margin of just seven runs this Partnership must be one of the most crucial that Martin has participated in.
And a bit of trivia from the First Test:
The partnership of 156 between Dean Brownlie and Daniel Vettori in the first Test was the first of this amount in the 366 Tests New Zealand had played to that time. There are only two lower partnership amounts which have yet to be registered by New Zealand batsmen, 146 and 152.
