Pattinson destroys Kiwis in big Australia win

Debutant paceman James Pattinson spearheaded Australia to a crushing nine-wicket victory in the first Test against New Zealand inside four days at the Gabba on Sunday. Pattinson snared five for 27 including three wickets in four balls to help rout the Black Caps for 150 off 49.4 overs and leave Michael Clarke's Australians with the formality of chasing just 19 runs for victory.
Another debutant, David Warner, hit three fours off four balls to get the winning runs for the loss of Phil Hughes's wicket as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series to Hobart on Friday.
Pattinson narrowly missed a hat-trick as he ripped through the New Zealand top order to put Australia on the path to victory. The 21-year-old fast bowler, on the back of just nine first-class matches, captured 5-7 in seven overs as the Kiwis capitulated under the fierce onslaught.
Clarke, who now has won three of seven Tests since taking over from Ricky Ponting in January, said the New Zealand win was important for the team's momentum.
Skipper Ross Taylor said New Zealand had to be tougher on themselves if they were to be competitive in this week's second Hobart Test.
Finger-spinner Nathan Lyon chipped in with three for 19 to finish with seven wickets for the match. Pattinson, bowling an impressive full length at searing pace, removed Martin Guptill (12), Kane Williamson (0) and skipper Ross Taylor (0) in the space of four balls in his opening over of the day.
Guptill could not keep down a lifter and popped a catch to Usman Khawaja at bat-pad to start the rot. Jesse Ryder barely survived Pattinson's hat-trick ball, a 150 km/h yorker to finish his fifth over with figures of 4-1.
Damien Fleming is the only Australian to have taken a hat-trick on his Test debut, in Pakistan in 1994. England's Maurice Allom and New Zealander Peter Petherick are others with hat-tricks on Test debut.
Night-watchman Doug Bracewell became Pattinson's fifth victim, caught behind by Haddin for two, leaving the Black Caps at 28 for five in the 13th over. Pattinson, who received a Cricket Australia contract this year and was picked for the tour of Sri Lanka, surpassed his previous best first-class figures of 4-52 for his state Victoria.
Clarke introduced Lyon in the 22nd over and Ryder (36) was lured on his second ball into a false shot to Mike Hussey at mid-off. Daniel Vettori fell when he attempted to cut part-timer Hussey to Clarke at slip for 17 with two balls left to lunch.
After lunch Peter Siddle removed Dean Brownlie for 42. Lyon dismissed Tim Southee and Chris Martin. In Australia's second innings, Hughes was dropped before he was caught next ball at third slip off Martin as Australia took just 14 balls to hit the winning runs.
Warner smashed Bracewell for successive boundaries to clinch the win.
