The competition needs a NZ win to make it memorable, to give it some identity. So far it has been fairly predictable.
Based on this tournament, how about
Guptill
McCullum
Smith
Elliott
Maxwell
Anderson
Haddin/Ronchi
Vettori
Johnson/Southee
Boult
Starc
?
3 for Aus, six for NZ and two ties?
Still make the favourites the favourites though.

far better bowler and just as dangerous with the bat

I guess I'm betraying that however much the Kiwis impress, I still can't quite believe in them against the reputation of their neighbours. And home advantage will trump their consistently impressive performances.
