Fleming led New Zealand to their first series win over their rivals in the Chappel-Hadlee trophy

New Zealand and Australia have had some memorable battles in their storied rivalry and one such battle was the 2006-07 Chappel-Hadlee trophy. Australia traveled across the Tasman sea with a mission to retain the trophy they had won in 2005 by beating New Zealand 2-1 under the leadership of Ricky Ponting.

Mike Hussey was the man in charge in 2006 as Australia suffered a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of the New Zealand cricket team. Australia was bundled out for 148 in the first ODI, which the hosts chased without losing any wicket.

The second and third ODIs were much more competitive but the result was still the same. Australia managed to go past 300 in both the ODIs but failed to defend their total against a rampant New Zealand team as they won the next ODIs by five wickets and one wicket respectively.

This meant that Stephen Fleming became the first captain to lead New Zealand to a win over Australia in the Chappel-Hadlee trophy.
