Australia-New Zealand Match is more like an India-Pakistan battle. New Zealand Cricket Fan only pray to see the Black Caps win against the Kangaroos even time they clash. Even ICC World Cup 2015 willn't be anything different.
Actually, The National Flags of Australia and New Zealand are more or less similar. These neighbouring countries which were divided by the Tasmania Ocean always look to see an upper hand over the others.
Veteran cricketer Greg Chappel is the man behind rivalry between Australia and New Zealand. During the Tri-Series of Australia, New Zealand and India, Aus & Nz reached final. While Aus won the first final, NZ came out victorious in the second final. In the third final, New Zealand requires 7 runs for last ball. Skipper Greg Chappell advised his Brother Traver Chappell who is bowling then to roll the ball on the ground instead of bowling so that New Zealand can't hit it for a Six. And the plan was implemented and it ended up stirring huge controversy. New Zealand Batsman who is facing the last ball threw his bat expressing his displeasure. NZ Prime Minister and the people of the country lashed out at Australia for lacking sporting spirit.
Australia-New Zealand in the World Cup 2015. They can't ask for a better platform to settle scores! Hope the best team lifts the trophy!!
