New zealand

Michael Hussey showed a return to form in Perth after a disappointing season and Australia want him to purr following their mid-innings struggles. His 78 was carefully planned, coming from 96 balls, but his team needed some substance after a horror start. If he can find regular meaningful support it will strengthen Australia's core significantly. 



Daniel Vettori is always a menace for Australia and they have already shown this summer that they struggle with tight, controlled slow bowling. Johan Botha posed regular problems during the South Africa series and Vettori should do the same. In 46 matches against Australia he limits his runs to 4.21 an over, which is an excellent return considering the batsmen involved in previous years, and averages slightly less than a wicket a match. 


Pitch & conditions
The pitch was quite lively on Friday and while the bowlers had some fun it was the batsman who benefitted most from the true surface. It shouldn't change too much in a couple of days so more high scores can be expected. There is a chance of a thunderstorm on Sunday and the temperature is expected to reach 35C.
