Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#8 Stephen Fleming

The former New Zealand batsman was one of the most successful captains that the country ever had and in addition to that, he was also one of the team's most reliable middle-order batsmen for many years.

He batted at number 3 for a long time but later on, he moved to number 4 and became a middle-order batsman. His graceful stroke-play, coupled with excellent technique made Fleming one of the stalwarts of the New Zealand teams for around 14 years from 1994 to 2008.

He batted in the middle-order in 72 out of the 111 Tests in his career and made a total of 3862 runs at an average of 36.43. He scored only 2 centuries, which is perhaps a disappointing tally for a batsman of his calibre. Fleming made 33 half-centuries though.
