Brisbane: New Zealand’s batsmen failed to capitalise on their bowlers’ efforts, collapsing for 156 in response to Australia’s 214 on the second day of the first cricket Test at the Gabba, here on Friday. Mitchell Johnson claimed four wickets for 30 runs, and was ably supported by Brett Lee, Stuart Clark and Shane Watson, who all scalped two wickets each. Australia was 131 for six at close, with Simon Katich unbeaten on 67, in its second innings. Left-armer Johnson troubled the middle order and managed three of his wickets in six balls, including a missed hat-trick opportunity. Ross Taylor top-scored with a 51-ball 40 that included seven boundaries. Daniel Flynn was left stranded on 39. Australia’s batsmen, with the exception of Katich, succumbed to bad luck and indecisive shot-making in the second innings, even as they managed a lead of 189 at close. Katich stood guard for 117 balls perfectly reading the conditions and adjusting to a difficult wicket. Paceman Chris Martin picked up the wickets of Matthew Hayden, Andrew Symonds and Shane Watson, while Iain O’Brien chipped in with the scalps of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey.
