Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#1 Martin Crowe

He is still the greatest batsman that New Zealand has ever produced and in his 77 Test career, Martin Crowe batted in the middle-order in 75 of them.

Crowe's brilliant technique, the ability to play his strokes against both pace and spin and finally, the gift of batting on seemingly difficult wickets made him one of the best batsmen in the world between 1982 and 1995.

Along with Richard Hadlee, Martin Crowe was also responsible for the rise of New Zealand cricket in the 1980s. He made 5209 runs at an excellent average of 46..50 in 75 Test matches and also scored 17 hundreds.

He also scored 17 half-centuries and as such, will forever be remembered as one of cricket's most famous batsmen.
