#2 Craig McMillan

Craig McMillan keeps an eye on the ball as Banglad

The former New Zealand middle-order batsman played in 55 Test matches for his country from 1997 to 2005 and out of those, he played at number 6 in 39 games.

Craig McMillan made his debut for New Zealand when he was only 21 and was particularly known for his penchant for attacking batsmanship, which made him an ideal candidate for the number 6 position.

Although he might not have had the tightest technique, he could play a range of strokes and was excellent against spin. However, bad runs of form often hampered his career and he often found himself in and out of the side.

In 39 Test matches, McMillan made 1899 runs, which is the highest at number 6 by any New Zealand batsman and averaged 41.28. He scored 5 centuries and 11 half-centuries.
