Watch Australia vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Live Streaming"I guess when we've got a few guys in our side that can bowl 140, 145, 150-plus kmh it probably does make a bit of a difference," he said.
"You don't get an easy run at it. The first, second change can bowl at that pace as well. I definitely think it makes it tougher for their guys. I'm pretty glad we're not facing us."
New Zealand were reduced to 54 for four inside 11 overs and it took a 50-run stand between James Franklin and Gareth Hopkins to give the hosts even the slightest chance of posting a competitive total for Australia to chase.
But when Hopkins went for 21 it sparked the beginning of the end and the remaining five wickets fell for just 14 runs. "We really didn't play to our potential. We didn't score enough runs with the bat," said Franklin whose knock of 43 was his highest in Twenty20s.
"We were probably 30-40 runs light with the bat and it was always going to be a stiff ask to try and defend that sort of total.
"We had our opportunity with six or seven overs to go to get 150-160. Hopkins and I were going along okay and we just kept on losing wickets in the back end.
