World Cup 2015: Australia need to negotiate Tim Southee, Trent Boult, says Aaron Finch

Australian opener Aaron Finch has claimed that he and David Warner have to try and negate the New Zealand swing bowlers, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, when the two sides lock horns at Eden Park on Saturday.

The venue is tailor-made for very high-scoring, given the reduced distance to the ropes beyond each end of the pitch - only 55 metres from the centre of the wicket on Saturday - a full five metres shorter than Sydney's ANZ Stadium.

The reduced boundary length might not prove good for the bowlers given the big-hitting batsmen in both the sides. Nonetheless, Southee and Boult have been outstanding in the World Cup so far, with the former having collected seven wickets when they thrashed England last week, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Finch claimed that New Zealand's bowling at the top of the innings has been 'outstanding' with Southee and Trent Boult. He said that Southee bowled 'brilliantly', adding that everything went Southee's way and he bowled 'beautifully'. 

He insisted that Southee is 'another guy' they are going to have to be aware of and hopefully get on top of them early. Finch claimed the 'high pressure' of a World Cup can do 'funny things'. 

However, he claimed that 'all the pressure' is going to be on New Zealand and added that the Australians are 'excited about the challenge'.
