The prolific batter who is one among the only 4 NZ players to have played over 100 Tests has amassed 7,584 runs in 110 Tests at an average of 44.87. He was the first in the cricketing world to play 100 internationals in all formats.

One of the linchpins of the current squad, the fearful batter who predominantly played at No. 4 has collected 8581 runs in 233 ODIs and 1909 runs from 102 T20Is.
