By the numbers: ranking the Black Caps' remarkable run chase against EnglandROSS SETFORD/NZPA New Zealand's batting coach Craig McMillan was out for 117 in their record chase against Australia. The Black Caps' remarkable run chase to beat England on Wednesday was one of the greatest in New Zealand ODI history, but it was not enough to take top spot. The five-wicket victory in Dunedin, where the Ross Taylor-inspired Kiwis hauled in England's 335-9, was New Zealand's third-highest successful run chase in ODIs. The most successful chase came against Australia in Hamilton in 2007 when they chased down 347 with just one wicket and three balls to spare. They are some way off the highest ever successful ODI chase, which belongs to South Africa after they reached a mammoth 438-9 after Australia set 434/4 in Johannesburg in 2006.
