Too many dropped catches, including the vital chance shelled by the skipper at the end of Day One.
Then we conceded a last wicket century partnership on the second morning. Tough going from there...
Not to take anything away from Australia, who looked every bit the best side in the world. Their top order may have wobbled at times, but Green was excellent - a world-class all-rounder in the making. And such a balanced, relentless attack... Kudos.

When Phillips got a Michelle, you just knew Lyons would be deadly on it.

He's great to watch.
The second test kicks off in Christchurch in about 20 minutes.
Australia won the toss and will bowl.
New Zealand

Williamson and Southee are both playing in their 100th Test.
Ben Sears to debut in place of the injured Will O'Rourke.
Yep, his selection is a bloody disgrace.
