Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#5 Jeremy Coney

Former New Zealand oversaw the country's emergence as a genuine cricketing power back in the 1980s and during his Test career (from 1974 to 1987), he was one of the team's middle-order mainstays. For the majority of his career, Jeremy Coney batted at either number 4 or 5 and he batted in the middle-order in 51 out of his 52 career Test matches.

Coney was a technically excellent batsman and one of his great qualities was that he often rose to the occasion when New Zealand were in some trouble. Coney scored 2622 runs at an average of 38.55 and went on to score 3 hundreds and 16 half-centuries.
