Year Review: Australian team's performance in 2015

7. Trans-Tasmanian Trophy:

After a mixed performance in the away tour, Australia were back home to host the New Zealand for the Trans-Tasmanian trophy. The series was historic as the Australia and New Zealand the first ever day-night ‘Pink Ball’ Test. It was the third and the final Test of the series. Australia were already ahead 1-0 in the series after winning the first Test. The Kiwis managed to draw the second Test which marked the retirement of speedster Mitchell Johnson. The ‘Pink Ball’ Test lasted only three days but it was an electrifying match which had a tense finish. Australia squeezed a 3-wicket victory over New Zealand after chasing 187. The Kiwi bowlers led by Trent Boult (5/60) made the Australians work hard.
