SYDNEY, Jan 14 (Reuters) Australia crushed New Zealand by 105 runs in the second tri-series one-day international at Hobart today.
The Australians followed up their eight-wicket victory over England in Melbourne on Friday with another easy win, piling on 289-8 from their 50 overs then bowling New Zealand out for 184 in the 39th over.
New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond took a hat-trick in the final over of Australia's innings after all-rounder Andrew Symonds had top scored with 69 and Adam Gilchrist made 61.
Ross Taylor slammed 10 boundaries and three sixes in a superb 84 that gave New Zealand some hope of winning before the visitors collapsed to lose their last seven wickets for just 23 runs.
