Timothy Grant Southee, widely known as Tim Southee, is a prominent cricket player hailing from New Zealand.
Born on December 11, 1988, in Whangarei, New Zealand, Southee quickly rose to prominence in the international cricket scene with his exceptional skills as a right-arm swing bowler.

At the age of just 19, Southee made his Test debut against England in Napier in 2008.
Displaying immense talent, he immediately left a lasting impact on the match, picking up 5 wickets for 55 runs in the first innings.
In the second innings, he showcased his batting prowess, smashing 77 runs off just 40 balls, including an astonishing nine sixes.
This remarkable performance set the tone for Southee's future career, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with.

Over the next decade, Southee formed a formidable new-ball partnership with Trent Boult, making them one of the best bowling pairs in the world.
His ability to swing the ball and his lightning pace made him a formidable opponent for batsmen.
Additionally, Southee developed a reputation for his powerful hitting, accumulating a staggering 50 sixes in just 36 Test matches by 2022.

In 2022, Southee received a significant honor as he was named the Test captain of the New Zealand cricket team when Kane Williamson stepped down from the role.
This appointment showcased his leadership qualities and recognition of his immense contributions to the team.

Known for his knack of swinging the ball, Southee's skill set made him a versatile bowler across various conditions.
In the 2011 World Cup, he showcased his prowess by taking 18 wickets at an impressive average of 17.33.
His exceptional performance drew praise from former South African cricketer Allan Donald, who predicted that Southee had the potential to become the best swing bowler in the world.
Despite occasional setbacks due to injuries, Southee consistently proved his mettle as a match-winner.

His adaptability was evident during New Zealand's tours of the subcontinent.
Notably, he picked up 7 wickets for 64 runs in Bangalore, securing the best figures for a New Zealand bowler in India.
In addition, his match figures of 8 for 120 against Sri Lanka played a pivotal role in New Zealand's rare victory on Sri Lankan soil.
Two years later, his 11-wicket haul in the West Indies marked New Zealand's first series win away from home in 12 years against a team other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.

Southee's standout performance came during the 2015 World Cup when he decimated England's batting lineup with his exceptional swing bowling, finishing with astounding figures of 7 for 33.
This incredible feat set a new record for the best bowling figures by a New Zealander in ODIs.

While Southee excelled in Test and T20 cricket, he faced stiff competition in ODIs from the likes of Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson.
Consequently, he found himself out of favor in the ODI team during the 2019 World Cup, making only one appearance.
Nonetheless, Southee's skills and experience warranted his presence in the format, and he continued to play a crucial role in the team.

Tim Southee's career stats substantiate his status as one of New Zealand's finest cricket players.
With numerous achievements under his belt, he has consistently demonstrated his talent, versatility, and dedication to the sport.
As he continues to lead the New Zealand Test team and contribute to their success, fans and cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipate witnessing further brilliance from this exceptional all-rounder.
