I'm going to go with a couple of recent opening combos as wildcards in tests

Guptill-Latham and
Rutherford-Fulton

Shudder

ODI #4 Taylor/Guppy? Completes the Kane-Guppy-Taylor triangle.

No it is further back in time. Taylor/Guppy is 9th

[Cyclops]

What about Guptill/McCullum for tests? They both batted down the order together and opened together.

30 and 21 so not all that close

Close - 6th spot with a good record of 44 average and of course that 339 partnership

[Chris B.]

Wright and Franklin?

[SynicBast]

I see Wags is now rated #5 in Test bowling, even Southee has not dropped too far so we have #5, #7 and #12 - not too shabby

Only 28 times

And Nicholls is around 5 or so as well, with Rossco lurking at 11. So a couple of good performances in the third test away from having three players in the top 10 for each discipline.

Man, most of our opening partnerships have been shitty.

They're defying (my) logic!

Can't think of any others with much longevity, but I'm probably overlooking one.

[Cyclops]

I don't suppose Raval-Latham has snuck in?

None of the 3 missing test partnerships are for the 1st wicket .....

You're right - it hasn't

[Cyclops]

Fleming/Taylor for tests?

[Chris B.]

@KiwiPie Google tells me Greenidge and Haynes had 148 partnerships (average 47); Hayden and Langer 113 partnerships (average 52).

[Cyclops]

What about Cairns/Harris for the ODI spot?

Fleming/Taylor for tests?

Nope - their careers didn't overlap for long

You're half right

[Chris B.]

Fleming-Harris for the last ODI spot.

Also half right
