108th Over
Thanks for joining us here in Brisbane for the Tour game. We'll be online Thursday for the First Vodafone Test between Australia and New Zealand at the Gabba. See you then, cheers.
New Zealand 423 (McCullum 146, Bracewell 73*, Pattinson 4/96) & 6/467 (Ryder 175, Taylor 138, Cutting 2/61) drew with Australia A 395 (Cowan 145, Wade 53, Bracewell 4/87).
The match ends in a draw but New Zealand can take plenty of confidence into next week's 1st Vodafone Test. The three new Australian pace bowlers didn't give too many secrets away today.
Ed Cowan batted well yesterday for Australia while all the bowlers for both sides toiled hard on a very flat pitch.
The end of an entertaining match here dominated by the bat. We saw plenty of good innings especially from the New Zealand top order - big hundreds from McCullum, Taylor and Ryder.
