David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald believes this could the season when New Zealand discover their new middle-order rock.
In April what chance that New Zealand fans will be reflecting on the summer which moved Ross Taylor from a hugely promising talent to a genuine international star?
Certainly New Zealand's batting order could do with someone stepping up to the plate as the main man. Martin Crowe was that player for years; Stephen Fleming became the batsman on whom New Zealand hopes primarily rested for the last 10 years.
The situation is, excuse the pun, tailormade for someone to step in and fill the vacancy.
