Dunedin: Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor slammed brilliant centuries helped New Zealand to 367/3 at stump on Day 1 of the first Test against the West Indies on Tuesday.
Brendon McCullum brought up his 7th Test ton while Taylor hits 9th Test century.
After winning the toss and putting New Zealand in to bat on a green-tinged Dunedin wicket with heavy cloud overhead, West Indies skipper Darren Sammy had reason to feel luck was on his side.
But that was one of the few things to go the West Indies' way as they struggled to contain the free-scoring New Zealand batsmen.
At stump, Ross Taylor was unbeaten on 103 with Brendon McCullum on 109. McCullum's innings included three sixes and 14 boundaries and at other end Taylor hits 13 boundaries in 157-ball knock.
Rutherford was out for 62 and Fulton for 61.
Rutherford was dismissed shortly before lunch after a brisk 95-run partnership with Fulton as the West Indies quicks were unable to generate much movement despite the conditions.
Rutherford's innings included a six and 10 boundaries but he came undone when taking the long-handle to Shane Shillingford.
After dispatching Shillingford for a six and a four, his attempt to hit the spinner out of the ground saw him caught one-handed on the boundary by a leaping Narsingh Deonarine.
Aaron Redmond, back in the side after a five-year absence, kept the momentum going after lunch until he miscued an attempt to turn Tino Best down the leg side and sent a leading edge to Marlon Samuels in the gully.
Best, bowling with more control after lunch, was unlucky not to be rewarded with a second wicket when he rapped Ross Taylor on the gloves early in his innings only to see the ball sail over the slips cordon and race to the boundary for four.
Fulton moved sedately to 38 before unleashing three quick fours for his half-century.
But when he reached 61, a lapse of concentration saw him jab at a Sammy delivery and Kirk Edwards took a regulation catch at second slip.
Shillingford, Best and Sammy takes one wicket each.
