Rating New Zealand's Test record against all Test-playing nations

Australia

In what was Brendon McCullum's farewell series, Australia beat New Zealand 2-0 in 2016

Played – 57, Won – 8, Lost – 31, Drawn – 18, Win Percentage – 14.04%

New Zealand’s trans-Tasman rivals Australia have never let them gain control – at least not in Test match cricket – and even in the most recent two series, played in either nation just months apart, Australia have kept their neighbours winless in the five matches combined. New Zealand’s last Test win over Australia came as far back as in 2011 when in an exciting Test at Hobart, the visitors were victorious by 7 runs.

New Zealand’s last series win over Australia was in 1990 when in a solitary Test at Wellington, they achieved a win by 9 wickets. In total, 57 Tests against Australia have brought them only 8 victories and a win percentage of just over 14 means they have faced tough times at the hands of their old rivals, who whitewashed them 2-0 in their own backyard in 2016, the farewell series of Brendon McCullum.
