Suman Emmanuel and Chris Wesseling have joined Karmichael Hunt and Nick Frisby in the running to keep their place under Brett Kimmorley.

Michael Jennings – 1,564 runs at 18.75

New Zealand’s leading specialist batsman is a formidable adversary to both the spinners and the seamers but this one had more impact behind the stumps. He had more runs than any other bowler this tournament and the combination of him and Steve Smith was perhaps the best bowling combo in the tournament.

Jubair Hossain – 1,474 runs at 27.15

He was the only bowler who could keep pace with Australia’s top four. Of course, he has been involved at both ends, but with the rest of the group, it looked like he was the most likely to score runs behind the wickets. He also was one of New Zealand’s fastest bowlers; if the top three bowlers were the most likely to get runs out at any given moment, you’d have got the impression that Hossain could bowl.

Kirsty Gibson – 1,485 runs at 28.38

I believe she was the second fastest bowler in the tournament, with a time of 29.4. She was the only bowler to score more than 25 runs across the competition. And I was surprised by Gibson’s time as she didn’t look that fast all too often at the time.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni – 1,523 runs at 25.56

He was the only bowler to score more than 20 runs across all three competitions. And he did that without putting any spin in his deliveries: on only 11 of his 31 balls against New Zealand did he make his deliveries turn. No bowler has made more shots at New Zealand this tour than Dhoni (39).

Amarjit Bains – 2,000 runs at 33.58

His batting is probably the highlight of the ODI side this year. He was the only bowler to score more runs than any other bowler. He had the most run assists, an incredible 21. And he was Australia’s leading allrounder, behind McGrath and Hamilton.

Mark Wood – 2,005 runs at 27.85

He was the only bowler in the tournament to hit a partnership of eight scores. And he was the only bowler to take more wickets on
