Against Oz, NZ will enjoy neither of these advantages. And yes, NZ has always been competitive against Oz, but repeating such fight this time will be very tough, I predict. Because Aussie bowlers are enjoying the form of their life. And Australia suddenly found their continuous winning mojo back after the Ashes loss.

I am wondering, is NZ conditions really much different? I am happy to look for reasons but I don't know if they are the pitches that for example India had a few seasons ago when it was 100 vs 100 every match.
And yes, Australia will be too tough...
