Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#2 Ross Taylor

Before the emergence of Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor was, without a doubt, the best batsman in the New Zealand batting line up. He has played in 83 Tests for New Zealand since 2007 and the bulk of is batting has so far been done at number 4.

Taylor's technique isn't orthodox by any stretch of the imagination but he has made the most of it and over the years, he has tightened his technique to emerge as one of New Zealand's best ever middle-order batsmen.

He has an average of 48.50 in 83 Tests and scored 6210 runs. In addition to that, he has notched up 17 centuries, that includes the stupendous 290 against Australia and 28 half-centuries.
