you know the saying "never say never"?
well, let me say that New Zealand will never be better than Australia at cricket (or anything for that matter

ICC Champions Trophy semi-final, Mohali:
Australia 240-9 (50 overs) beat New Zealand 206 (46 overs) by 34 runs
McGrath bowled 10 successive overs, taking 3-22
Australia secured a first appearance in a Champions Trophy final with a 34-run victory over New Zealand in Mohali.
Chasing 241 for victory, the Kiwis tumbled to 35-6, Glenn McGrath taking 3-22 in a 10-over spell.
But Jacob Oram (43) and Daniel Vettori (79) shared a seventh-wicket stand of 103 and the lower order kept thrashing boundaries to make the Aussies sweat.
Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds both hit 58 as Australia posted 240-9, Kyle Mills taking 4-38 for New Zealand.
And the Aussies went on to continue their recent dominance over their trans-Tasman rivals with their 16th victory in their last 18 one-day matches.
It put an end to New Zealand hopes of another shot at the title they won in Kenya six years ago.
Kiwi captain Stephen Fleming said on winning the toss that there would be movement early and bowling would be more difficult under lights.
