One of New Zealand's famous test cricket triumphs has been implicated in an Al-Jazeera match-fixing investigation.
The media organisation has released a second series of allegations relating to 15 test matches – one of which is the Blackcaps' win over Australia in Hobart in 2011.
Seamer Doug Bracewell took nine wickets to lead New Zealand to a nail-biting seven-run victory over the hosts in the second test of the series.
The documentary named 'Cricket's Match Fixers: The Munawar Files' alleges 26 planned spot-fixes.
The claims cover test, one-day international and Twenty20 international matches from the early part of the decade and revolve around the manipulation of so- called 'session betting', where wagers are made on how many runs will be scored in a specified number of overs.
New Zealand Cricket has dismissed the accusations as "unsubstantiated allegations" and encouraged Al Jazeera to produce evidence.
"NZC takes anti-corruption extremely seriously and has no wish to undermine its integrity by commenting on unsubstantiated allegations," said manager of public affairs, Richard Boock.
"We would, however, join the ICC and Cricket Australia in urging Al Jazeera to make all information relating to the allegations available, in the interests of natural justice and good journalism."
The Al Jazeera documentary was first aired in May and Cricket Australia, together with the ICC and the England and Wales Cricket Board, have asked the network for further information after thorough examination of the evidence in front of them.
Cricket Australia has also dismissed the claims as unsubstantiated and incorrect.
"Cricket Australia takes a zero-tolerance approach against anyone trying to compromise the integrity of the game, and to suggest anything otherwise is unsubstantiated and incorrect," said CA chief executive James Sutherland in a statement.
"Prior to the broadcast of Al Jazeera's documentary, Cricket Australia's Integrity Unit conducted a review of the latest claims by Al Jazeera and, from the limited information provided by Al Jazeera, our team have not identified any issues of corruption by any current or former player, including in relation to Big Bash League matches.
"We have full confidence in our players in also protecting the game, and we are working closely with the ACA to keep them informed of any developments."
The England and Wales Cricket Board is also standing by its players, after evaluating the Al Jazeera files.
"ECB takes its responsibilities on anti-corruption and preserving the integrity of cricket very seriously," an ECB statement read.
"Whilst the limited information we have been given by Al Jazeera is poorly prepared and lacks clarity and corroboration it has been properly assessed.
"Analysis of this by the ECB Integrity Team has cast no doubt on the integrity or behaviour of any England player, current or former.
"The materials we have been given have been referred to the ICC's Anti- Corruption Unit (ACU) and we will continue to work with them, as is the correct procedure for protecting the game. We are also working closely with the PCA and keeping them informed."
The general manager of the ACU, Alex Marshall, confirmed the body was already looking into the claims and appealed for the complete assistance of Al Jazeera, which has passed its files to Interpol.
The ICC has also launched an appeal to find the alleged fixer Aneel Munawar after Al Jazeera's previous documentary was shown in May.
"The investigation into these allegations has already commenced ... as with the first program we have and will continue to ask for the co-operation of the broadcaster.
"We have made repeated efforts to engage with the broadcaster," said Marshall.
