We could go for a very batting heavy lineup and rely on Styris, Astle and Vincent for the extra seam options.

J Marshall
Cumming
H Marshall
Fleming
Astle
Vincent
Styris
Oram
McCullum
Vettori
Bond

I don't really like the thought of just two specialist bowlers in Bond and Vettori (yes I know he scores a few but his primary role is as a bowler) so I would probably drop one of the openers to allow Franklin/Martin in.

J Marshall/Cumming
Fleming
H Marshall
Vincent
Astle
Styris
Oram
McCullum
Vettori
Bond
Martin/Franklin

Hmm this is harder than I thought. I would much rather Fleming batted at 4 but that means dropping one of Astle, Styris and Vincent. Out of these 3 I would probably drop Styris due to his lack of form in his last series + lack of match practice.
