The New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor says the Black Caps bowlers have already confirmed their worth at international level but the batsmen need to prove themselves in the upcoming one day series against Pakistan after consistently letting the side down.
The New Zealanders flew out for the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday night with captain Daniel Vettori in full charge of the side after coach Andy Moles resigned on Saturday.
With Jesse Ryder and Grant Elliot injured Ross Taylor says if the Black Caps are to have any chance of beating the enigmatic Pakistanis, the batsmen must step up.
Ross Taylor says being without a coach means the players will be held personally accountable for the team's results in the Middle East.
