The Kookaburras have continued their remarkable start to Olympic year with a second-straight wholly improbable comeback win in the FIH Hockey Pro League, this time toppling the Netherlands, the world's No.1 side, in a 5-4 classic.
Less than 24 hours after coming from 4-2 down to beat hosts India 6-4 in Bhubaneswar, Australia's men enjoyed an even more astounding win, recovering from 3-0 down against the Pro League leaders and title holders and grabbing the winner with just 29 seconds left on the clock on Friday.
Tim Brand slotted home the Kookaburras' last-gasp clincher after two goals apiece from Jeremy Hayward and the ever-prolific Blake Govers had dragged them back into a match that had looked lost at halftime as they looked strangely lethargic and off the pace at 3-0 down.
