While nz is reverting to its normal depth level, after a decade long talent bulge moves towards the exit end.
The talk of "paddling pool depth" is relevant, to Australia. Cameron Bancroft? Is he the most interesting talking point of an Aus A team? Gee, that's a worry.
An 'interesting' NZA selection I'd expect to get thrashed fresh off a plane from winterland.

It looks a little less than an 'A' side. Not that these guys are great, but Harris and Renshaw should be in a genuine 'A' side

True. But same for NZ.
Missing the entire raft of what would be the realistic fringe test batsmen - Young, Ravindra, Phillips Chapman etc
The NZA bowling, no real excuses, though. There is no one missing due to other commitments (e.g. not injury).
It's hard to get a genuine A team out on the field these days, unless it is your actual priority. There is always a blackcaps (or insert other country) white ball series going on at the same time.

We might be crap but it’s fair to say Australia’s A team doesn’t quite resemble this one…..this series was awesome to watch back in the day.
All six of the top order went onto the top team and Hayden, Martyn, Langer and especially Ponting went onto outstanding careers in the longer form, Bevan obviously was a gun in ODI cricket and Blewett had a handy career without setting the world on fire.
I can’t remember any of those bowlers doing anything though.

@Donsteppa I would check some NZ A TAB accounts after day 1 lol

We beat Aus A 1-0 in April as well.

Gawd the BCaps T20 squad is meh.

Farkin hell, looks like we might be on the right side of the ledger for once!! Finn Allen the key, a huge innings set the bar. Jamieson, Sodhi also bowling well. Question - Why didnt we have this approach in the first two matches?
-
Am enjoying this on a pleasant sunny Sunday afternoon from my privileged position on the sofa terraces and an ice cold beer in hand. A complete role reversal, BCaps completely dismantling England. A good performance in the field too. Very welcome to see.

What is "this approach"?

Batting second?
You'll notice Englands awesome batting in the first two matches somewhat withered as well
