That question has crossed my mind. In compiling my list I tried to think of a New Zealander to add.
Both Edgar and Wright could, and did, but only rarely. Crowe of course but his trademark shot was the pull through midwicket.
Franklin and Murray of the openers who I remember played shots of exquisite timing but not enough.
Andrew Jones, while awkward in defence was good to watch and Richard Hadlee, playing the off drive off the back foot was pefection personified.
Geoff Howarth was pretty. Brian Hastings smooth.
The best innings of this type of batting by a New Zealander I remember was at a rained out one-day game in Waimate and by that most famous of NZ lefthanders, Vaughan Brown, who scored 80+ NO in no time, with no effort against a good Otago bowling attack.
