5 best players of spin from New Zealand

#4 Brendon McCullum

He started off as a wicketkeeper but over the years developed into one of New Zealand's best middle-order batsmen and eventually, Brendon McCullum ended his career as a specialist batsman.

As a middle-order batsman, he simply had to be good against spin and over the course of his 101 Test match career, McCullum proved that he was as good as some of the best batsmen New Zealand have had. He could use his feet superbly and in addition to that, he was an ultra-attacking batsman who took on the bowlers from the outset.

The savage cuts, the slog sweeps and cover drives often proved to be his weapons of choice when he was up against the spin bowlers. When it came to facing spinners in the sub-continent, he often proved excellent and averaged 39.27 in 15 Tests spread across 7 tours.

His finest series was the 2 game series in India back in 2010-11, when he made 370 runs in 3 Tests, that included a marathon 225. He recorded an average of 74 and a barely believable strike rate of 62.92.
