Top 5 No. 6 New Zealand Test batsmen of all time

#1 Jeremy Coney

The former captain who played for his country from 1974 to 1987, led the rise of New Zealand's stature as a Test nation in the 1980s and Jeremy Coney himself was regarded as one of the team's leading batsmen for most of his career.

He played in 52 Test matches and out of those, he played at number 6 in 34 of them. The right-handed batsman was known for his solidly, his defensive technique and the ability to stabilise the innings if New Zealand found themselves in trouble.

He played plenty of superb knocks when the team seemed to be staring at a poor score. In those 34 Test matches, Coney made 1772 runs and averaged 45.43, which is the highest among all batsmen from the country to have played at the position in a minimum of 10 Tests. Coney made 2 centuries and 10 half-centuries while batting at number 6.
