''For us it's about making sure we're playing the same way we have been, good, hard aggressive cricket and hopefully that will take care of itself."
Australia have omitted in-form Usman Khawaja for the opening game and have resisted the temptation to play promising legspinner Adam Zampa, opting instead for a four-pronged fast-medium attack, plus the allround skills of Mitchell Marsh and offspin of allrounder Glen Maxwell.
New Zealand have intriguingly brought legspinner Ish Sodhi into their squad for tomorrow.
The Australian team for tomorrow: Steve Smith ©, David Warner, Sean Marsh, George Bailey, Glen Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Matt Wade, James Faulkner, John Hastings, Kane Richardson, Josh Hazlewood.
