The victory against the Black Caps was followed by an unprecedented 5-0 one-day international (ODI) series whitewash of Australia at home; a 2-1 Test series win in Australia; whitewashes of 3-0 and 5-0 against Sri Lanka at home and a clean sweep in all formats against New Zealand in their back yard.
