Twitter Reactions: Australia gets past New Zealand with a thrilling win at Adelaide

Twitter Reactions: Australia gets past New Zealand with a thrilling win at Adelaide: The first-day night Test at the Adelaide Oval proved to be a great contest as both teams held on to the string of the match till the very end. For Australia, it was Shaun Marsh who battered sensibly to get to 49 but was dismissed in the dying stages of the chase, but till then he had almost done the job for the team and they needed just 11 to record history. And as Peter Siddle and Mitchell Starc ran for the double they etched their names in the history book by recording a 3-wicket win in the 1^st ever Test played with the Pink ball.

In the historic Test, the ball ruled over the bat and the match ended inside 3 days as no team could get past the score of 225 in all the four innings. The Australian bowlers did well to bowl out New Zealand for 202 in the first innings and despite the absence of spearhead Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood took up the role, grabbed a fifer and ensured the Kiwi’s did not have enough lead to cause troubles while they came out to chase it in the 4^th innings.

New Zealand bowled with a lot of heart and intent, Trent Boult delivered an inspiring spell, though he had very little to bowl to and every time an edge flew off for a four, it also reduced the required runs. As a result of his superb bowling spell, he got a 5-wicket haul which kept the Aussies on their toes till the last run was scored.

All in all, the historic day-night Test ended beautifully, the pink ball proved to be a success as it swung and turned, and stayed true for its duration.

Here are the best tweets from the Australia v New Zealand 1^st day-night Test:

Don't need to be a trained lip-reader to know what Guptill said then #AUSvNZ

We'd sanction Shaun Marsh but we somehow think he may have just sanctioned himself. #mrplotto #ausvnz

That was more heartbreaking than him getting ran out on 99. He deserved 50 but what a fine knock by @shaunmarsh9. #AUSvNZ

#AUSvNZ that is the stupidest four I have seen. If the hero left it it would've been 2

Poor Marsh missed his half century by just 1 run but well played boy and my birthday partner has taken the catch 😀 #AUSvNZ

And a bad series continues for Guptill, costing New Zealand four runs. 7 runs to go #AUSvNZ https://t.co/7glZWNK6hO pic.twitter.com/ONWgg0leZj

The game of #Cricket can be harsh at times! #ShaunMarsh played exceptionally well for that 50, only to get out on 49. Great knock! #AUSvNZ

It wasn't getting there and the superman dive from the kiwi owngoaled it over the boundary #AUSvNZ

Just as Australia won the first ever Test in March 1877 so they have won the first ever day-night Test match #AUSvNZ.What a great record

So a HOPELESSLY WRONG #DRS decision ensures that #NewZealand loses the first-ever #DayNightTest to #Australia. 🙁 #NZvAUS #AUSvNZ

Geez I love these @BLACKCAPS. Fighting till the last run with huge grins on their faces. All class, all the time #AUSvNZ

37 wickets in 9 sessions on a perfect wicket is hardly good cricket. It's a no for me for the pink ball. #AUSvNZ #tradition #redball

Amazing win by the Aussies??
But we can't hide the disappointment that we now have to face Monday without Test cricket…#AUSvNZ
