Over the last two years we have had 7 innings that have lasted 4hrs or more with 2 of those being over 5hrs. One of them was Stephen Fleming who doesn't play anymore and another was Matt Bell who is dropped. Full table:
 
We have also only scored 5 centuries in the past 5 years. Oram has two, Bell one, and Taylor two. For a team even with us in tests, Sri Lanka have scored 24 centuries in the past two years. Reinforces the fact that our batting is sh*t and we can't bat for long periods of time.
 
By the way, Cricinfo's statsguru is amazing for finding all sorts of statistics.
