Australia vs New Zealand 2016: 5 players to watch out for

#2 Colin de Grandhomme

The burly all-rounder was a revelation with the ball in the Test series against Pakistan when he took a six-wicket haul on debut. He was among the wickets right through the series, ending as the top wicket-taker.

Interestingly, bowling isn't his main trait. He is known in domestic circles for his hard hitting ability and has been given a chance in ODIs ahead of Anton Devcich. He showed his batting abilities with a quickfire knock in the Christchurch Test. This isn't going to be his debut though as he has played an ODI in 2012 against the Proteas.

He has 2031 runs in 99 matches List A matches and has 52 wickets. His recent bowling form suggests that he may get to bowl a lot more than he has been used in List A cricket. In the absence of Corey Anderson, Grandhomme will be tasked with the accelerator's role.
