Top 10 New Zealand batsmen of all time

#5 Ross Taylor

Ross Taylor is one of New Zealand's greatest batsmen

Ross Taylor emerged as New Zealand’s premier batsman in 2007 just when the previous generation were reaching the twilight of their careers. Over the last decade, he has established himself as one of New Zealand’s greatest batsmen.

Taylor does not quite possess a copybook technique but his unique bottom handed style of batting has proven immensely effective across formats. He has the 2nd highest average (47.10) among all New Zealand batsmen till date and has amassed 6030 runs (16 centuries) in 81 Tests so far.

Taylor has been one of New Zealand’s mainstays in the limited overs formats as well and hopefully, his record will improve further in the last few years of his career.
