#2 Stephen Fleming (16.36%)

Second Test - New Zealand v England: Day 4

The former New Zealand captain was a shrewd tactician highly admired for his great cricketing brain. Fleming saw the New Zealand team through the thick and thin in the late nineties and early noughties. Fleming's impact with the bat was good but he was not a great converter of fifties into hundreds.

In 111 test matches, Fleming has scored 7172 runs at an average of 40. He converted only 9 out of his 55 fifty-plus scores into hundreds. His conversion rate of 16.36% does not do justice to a player of his calibre.

It was quite surprising to see that Fleming did not score many hundreds despite batting at the top of the order for a number of years. Many times, he was not the lone star in the New Zealand batting line-up which was not the strongest during his heydays.
