Top 10 New Zealand batsmen of all time

#3 Glenn Turner

Turner was New Zealand's first batting superstar

Opener Glenn Turner was New Zealand’s first superstar batsman and during his international career that lasted around 14 years, he proved to be one of the world’s premier opening batsmen.

Turner had a rock-solid technique and a passion for-run scoring that bordered on obsessive. A solid defensive technique coupled with a determined game made him a hard batsman to dislodge. He played 41 Tests in which he scored 7 centuries and clocked an average of 44.64.

Turner is also famous for having scored 171 not out against East Africa in the inaugural World Cup. It was an unheard of ODI score at the time.
