A century from Jacob Oram and a fifty from Matthew Sinclair helped The Kiwis post a total of 353 in the first innings. The Aussies posted a massive total of 585 in response with Adam Gilchrist and Mcihael Clarke hitting centuries.

However, the highlight of the innings was when both Jason Gillespie and McGrath scored half-centuries. McGrath scored 61 off 92 balls with a strike rate of 66.30 and his innings included 5 fours and the solitary famous six.

The Black Caps were bowled out for just 76 in the 2nd innings and Australia won the match by an innings and 156 runs.

In fact, McGrath has an overall 641 runs in 124 matches which means he almost ended up scoring 10% of the runs in this one innings he played.
