McIntosh and his 100
Have we solved half our opening problem? Well, it’s too early to tell, but McIntosh is looking very exciting. You never know, he may be the saviour of another of our problems, that of scoring centuries.
The last century scored by a New Zealander (I think) was Taylor’s 154 at Manchester in May. To find the last century by an opener (ignoring Bell’s 107 against Bangladesh in January, unfairly perhaps, but it does get in the way of my point) we have to go way back to Nottingham ’04 for Fleming’s 117.
