I would be surprised if they all don't perform better collectively. NZ attack is good but it is no match to SA and our batsman should be proud of themselves at how they've handled SA attack. However expect Kohli and Rahane to be among the highest scorers.

This is where we will get it wrong. We don't have to compare NZ and South African bowling attack. It's off course South African attack, which is better on paper and also more experienced. You have to remember the pitches which come to play and conditions. Every player in the world knows that when they go to South Africa, pitches and bowlers are tough to face and it will be tough for them to score runs. IN New Zealand, pitches are not only tough, they are unpredictable. Nothing close to falt tracks, but some inconsistent bounce and always there for the bowlers, which usually local bowlers use it pretty well. The pitches are no way a day 5 perth pitch, but they are surely enough to test our bats at times. It's not easy to hit double hundreds there. You can look great with a hundred and then you will be unsettled by some crazy deliveries in a row which could take your wicket. Even set batsman batting in 120s sometimes find it tough all of a sudden. Beauty of cricket in NZ.
