Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#3 Brendon McCullum

The former New Zealand captain is probably one of the finest leaders in modern cricket and in his 101 games long Test career, he batted at all positions from 1 to 9. However, the bulk of his career was spent batting in the middle-order and his preferred positions were 5,6 and 7.

McCullum was a batsman who could take apart any attack on his day but at the same time, if he needed to dog deep then he could. However, attacking instincts often took over after a while and that is perhaps what made him one of the game's most entertaining batsmen.

He batted in the middle-order in 71 Tests and made 4174 runs at an average of 39 and McCullum also slammed 10 centuries as well as 16 half-centuries. Perhaps his most memorable innings was the 302 he scored against India February 2014 to not only save the Test match but also record the first ever triple century from a New Zealander.
