Vance first played for Wellington in the 1976-77 season and for four of the next five seasons was the Wellington
wicket-keeper before beginning to concentrate on his batting. After establishing himself as a specialistbatsman he became one of the most prolific batsmen in New Zealand domestic cricket through the 1980sVance was in his twelfth season of first-class cricket and thirty-two years old when finally called up to the New Zealand Test team in the New Zealand summer of 1987-88. That season he scored 638 runs for Wellington at an average of 79.75 and including three centuries. This was followed up the next season with 888 runs at an average of 80.72 including four centuries – a performance which saw him again included in the Test team.
