3) Tim Southee

During a period in 2010, when New Zealand was struggling to even put up a fight in any game they played, Tim Southee”s effort in a game against Pakistan boosted their morale. Southee dismissed Younis Khan, Hafeez and Umar Akmal in successive deliveries at Auckland on Boxing Day 2010. He picked up 5/18 in New Zealand”s 5-wicket win over Pakistan. Since the retirement of ace fast bowler Shane Bond, Southee has been the go-to man for New Zealand in all formats of the game. He along with Trent Boult have formed a deadly bowling duo for New Zealand. Southee and Boult on their day can destroy any batting line up.
