Peter Siddle, the Nottinghamshire and Australia fast bowler, believes he knows the secret to dismissing in-form Kiwi Kane Williamson ahead of Friday’s Third Test.
Siddle is hotly tipped to play in the match following the retirement of Mitchell Johnson, having missed out on selection for the opening two matches of the series.
The 30-year-old paceman's previous international appearance brought match figures of six for 67 in the final Test of the Investec Ashes at the Kia Oval, after which Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell moved to secure him on a two year contract.
Having been on the fringes of international selection in recent times, the first ever pink ball Test represents a sizeable opportunity for Siddle to establish himself in the team.
Williamson, whose scores during the series so far are 140, 59, 166 and 32 not out, is likely to be his most challenging adversary - but the Victorian is limbering up for the battle in confident mood.
"I've had some good success against him in the past," said Siddle of the Black Caps number three.
"I have troubled him, and had some good battles with him.
"It's a credit to him; he's been a class player these past 12-18 months and he has been a handful this series. It's going to be the big aim here, to try and stop him.
"I think it's just about being patient; that's one thing he's very good at, and that's one thing we can be slightly better at in our bowling, building a bit more pressure, having a bit more patience and working players like that over.
"The good players are happy to spend a lot of time out there and make you bowl a lot. So the more pressure you can put on them early on, it will work in our favour."
Siddle, who captained Victoria for the first time last week, has the happy knack of troubling opposition star players with his nagging line and length - and the plan won’t change for New Zealand’s current run machine.
"You look at all the class players in world cricket, it's worked hasn't it?" he said.
"It worked against Sachin (Tendulkar), it worked against 'KP' (Pietersen), it works against (Virat) Kohli.
"That's the thing – it works. It's pretty basic but it happens against all the best teams.
“Going back to the big success we had during the Ashes here in Australia (in 2013-14), that was the big key thing for us, building pressure and getting them out that way.
"'Smudger' (Steven Smith) is a good captain to work with and we might need a few little tactical manoeuvres to get some of these guys out."
Siddle is equally unfazed by the prospect of bowling with the pink ball, although he admits the first innings will be something of a learning experience.
"The best example we've got is that Shield game between New South Wales and South Australia," he said.
"(Mitchell) Starc and Josh (Hazlewood) got a little bit of seam movement off the deck and a little bit through the air.
"It reacts pretty similarly to a white ball, sometimes not a lot of swing.
"From all reports it held up well, it was in good condition throughout the game and I guess it comes down to the change from twilight to night and those types of things, how the ball reacts, but it's still a bit of a learning experience for all of us.
"Both teams will learn a lot throughout this match that we'll take into the second innings."
The 2015 season has seen dramatic last-gasp four day victories, thrilling limited-overs contests and an historic Investec Ashes Test, all in the unique surroundings of Trent Bridge.
Next season, we’d wager, will be no less enthralling and frankly we’d hate for you to miss out.
