Southee and Jamieson have been two of the best bowlers during the WTC...and it shows why NZ have done so well, home and away.

very similar to how andersons stats evolved. last 100 wickets at an average of 21. goes to show how much time players need to mature at test level given his first 50 came at about 40.

He's taken five wickets in the first innings at Kanpur, including four in first hour of Day 2 which seems to have prevented India from getting a score around 400.
He's getting better and better with age.

BLACKCAPS pace bowler Tim Southee has crowned a stellar season by winning the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal at the ANZ New Zealand Cricket Awards.
On the final day of the three-day awards ceremony, Southee shared the podium with Bert Sutcliffe Medal recipient Penny Kinsella; the ANZ Test Player of the Year, Devon Conway, and the women’s and men’s Domestic Players of the Year – Nensi Patel, and joint male winners Tom Bruce and Robbie O’Donnell, respectively.
Southee, who has not previously been awarded NZC’s supreme award, the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal, was named the winner on the basis of his sheer consistency throughout the summer; at home and abroad, in red and white ball cricket.
Already named as the winner of this year’s Winsor Cup for first-class bowling, he captured 36 Test wickets at 23.88, including best figures of six for 43 against England at Lord’s and five crucial wickets against India in the victorious ICC World Test Championship Final at Southampton.
Southee has now taken 338 Test wickets - 23 fewer than Daniel Vettori and 93 short of the record-holder the award is named after, Sir Richard Hadlee.
“It’s a huge honour to win such a prestigious award,” Southee said, speaking from India where he is currently playing in the IPL for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
“Like most cricketers growing up I knew all about the exploits of Sir Richard and it’s certainly pretty humbling to win his award this year.
“While the accolades are nice, I think it really just reflects the way we have worked together as a group and played our cricket for a long period of time.
“It’s been great to be a part of this period and being able to win games for our country which is something that’s very special.”

New Zealand’s greatest fast bowler Sir Richard Hadlee has congratulated Tim Southee on winning his Medal on the final day of the ANZ New Zealand Cricket Awards and believes the 32-year-old is only getting better
Southee, who had not previously won the supreme award, was named the winner on the basis of his sheer consistency throughout the summer; at home and abroad, in red and white ball cricket.
Hadlee joined a media zoom call with Southee to salute him.
“You’re a very deserving winner,” Hadlee said.
“We go back 14 years to when I was part of the selection panel who first picked you and to watch you develop over the years into the fine-tuned bowler you are now has been quite remarkable.
“You seem to be in total control of your game and bowling as well as you ever have. You’ve got a simple technique which is easy to repeat, and your skill sets have gone to another level.
“No doubt the 400 Test wickets are in sight and maybe that magic number 431 is in the back of your mind.
“So, I’ll be watching that with some interest and if you are to reach that mark, I’m prepared to sit here and say, ‘it’s time for me to let it go’.
“I would be very satisfied and pleased that it would be you to do it – so there you go there’s a wee bit of motivation for you.
“I really do congratulate you Tim on what you’ve achieved and no doubt you’ve got a few more years to give to New Zealand cricket and the game in general.”
Southee’s 21-22 season saw him claim 36 Test wickets at 23.88 over the judging period, including best figures of six for 43 against England at Lord’s and five crucial wickets against India in the victorious ICC World Test Championship Final at Southampton.
The right-arm swing bowler spearheaded the BLACKCAPS attack at the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE and captained the side for the T20 series away to India. He claimed 12 wickets over the T20 season at 19.75 with a best of 3-16 against India.

Tim is not having his best series against England, so far at least.
Taken 4 for 234, averaging 58.5 per wicket.

Ironically I thought that his bowling in this final innings (and particularly yesterday evening) was his best of the series, but no doubt he has had a very bad tour and that he is seemingly not the force that he once was.

Technical flaw has crept in. He is collapsing his left arm in his delivery stride so not cocqing his action properly. Just needs a good few sessions in the nets with a coach.

It will be interesting to see what the NZ selectors do next. Do they persist with the likes of Southee and Wagner or do they now move on.

He has been declining for a while. Age is catching up perhaps.
Not the same old Southee.

Guess they persisted with both.
Less options with Trent Boult exiting his red ball contract it seems.
Wagner looked pretty innocuous on this flat pitch, bowling to an obvious plan and not doing it very well, but Southee put in a decent shift I thought.

Master bowler Southee - in whatever pitch he plays on, no leaking runs if not taking wickets. So good for his spinners to have him on the other side.

Has Tim Southee messed up on Day 5 as captain?
Southee spread the field and wasted around 30 minutes setting the fielders.
For some strange reason, didn't take the new ball immediately
To top it off he overbowled Henry and didn't bowl bracewell+sodhi after Saud got out
Overall really absurd captaincy from southee

Had England 80/5 in the 4th innings, all eyes on his captaincy as the Test draws to a close.

Southee feeling more heat than love ahead of 100th Test
Set to become the first NZ fast bowler to reach a century of Test appearances, Tim Southee has been forced to fend off questions surrounding his captaincy and bowling
On a day when he might have reasonably expected a few backslaps from a grateful New Zealand public, Tim Southee instead found himself fending off pointed criticism of his captaincy and questions as to whether his upcoming 100th Test could conceivably be his last.
When he walks on to Christchurch's Hagley Oval tomorrow to toss the coin with fellow skipper Pat Cummins, Southee will become the first NZ men's fast bowler to reach a century of appearances in Tests.
But the 35-year-old is feeling the heat more than the love, despite the Black Caps currently sitting in second place on the ICC World Test Championship table (ahead of Australia) and having lost just three of their 11 matches since he took over as captain from Kane Williamson in late 2022.
Part of the pain stems from Southee's diminishing returns with the ball, with the swing-bowling specialist's most recent five-for coming against Sri Lanka at Hagley a year ago, and just 14 wickets at 35 runs apiece in his 13 innings since.
The right-armer's current struggles were most painfully obvious during Australia's first innings at Wellington's Basin Reserve last week when, after winning the toss and sending his foes into bat, Southee laboured for 27 overs to finish with 0-92.
And in the three home Tests he's led NZ in this summer against South Africa and Australia, Southee has taken 4-321 from almost 100 overs with a best of 2-46 in last week's second innings at the Basin.
"There's no hiding the fact the currency we deal in as bowlers is wickets, and the last three Test matches I haven't got the wickets I would have liked," Southee said today when asked about his recent form.
"But I still feel like there's more to it, and there's roles to that as well.
"I've felt okay at times.
"Sometimes you feel good and you don't get the wickets, and sometimes you feel not so good and you actually pick up a few wickets.
"So I think it's just about trusting your game, trusting what you do.
"I've worked hard over the last couple of days alongside (NZ assistant coach) Kyle Mills on a couple of things.
"Just a couple of minor things that we've been looking at."
Southee found support from an unexpected quarter when Cummins expressed his "huge admiration" for his captaincy counterpart who arrived on the Test scene fresh from NZ's Under-19 World Cup team in 2008 and snared 5-55 in his maiden bowling innings against England at Napier.
With 378 wickets at 29.5 over his 99 outings to date, Southee is second only to the legendary Sir Richard Hadlee (431 at 22.3) among his country's most potent Test bowlers, and is currently 20th on the game's all-time wicket-takers list.
However, he has come under fire for more than his bowling in recent days with one of his former NZ teammates and captaincy predecessor Ross Taylor querying the circumstances surrounding the recent sudden retirement of veteran Black Caps seamer Neil Wagner.
Both Southee and Williamson – who also plays his 100th Test in tomorrow's encounter with Australia – have refuted suggestions Wagner was forced into quitting, with Southee adding he had forged a close friendship with the left-arm quick which he hoped would continue for years to follow.
But perhaps the most curious barb aimed at Southee was a suggestion his dismissal on the final day at Wellington – when he belted Australia spinner Nathan Lyon for a straight six but was caught on the long-on boundary when trying a repeat the dose two balls later – was brought about by ego.
In his recent appearance on ESPN's 'Around the Wicket' podcast, Taylor revealed Southee and another former NZ skipper Brendon McCullum had previously engaged in a bit of dressing room banter about the number of sixes they had struck in their respective careers.
This was then extrapolated to suggest Southee was trying to lift his current tally of 87 Test sixes (eighth on the all-time list) closer to McCullum's 107 (second behind Ben Stokes's 128) and that explained why he took to Lyon last week when NZ's tailenders needed to bat out five sessions to save the match.
"It's certainly not at the top of my mind," Southee said when asked if he had become preoccupied with bettering McCullum's benchmark for most sixes by a NZ batter.
"I'm obviously in the team as a bowler and batting at number ten, so not too many batting records I'm after.
"But a disappointing way to finish that Test match, obviously never a good look to get out that way."
Southee and Williamson join a select cohort of NZ men's players to reach 100 Tests, with only current Australia assistant coach Daniel Vettori and Taylor (both 112), Stephen Fleming (111) and McCullum (101) having reached triple figures, which reflects the paucity of Tests the Black Caps play.
Taylor played alongside Southee in 79 Tests from the time of the latter's debut until 2022, and captained him in eight matches including NZ's most recent Test win over Australia at Hobart in 2011.
"I haven't had a great deal to do with Ross since he retired, but he's obviously a great of our game," Southee said today.
"He's entitled to his opinion, everyone's entitled to their opinion.
"But all I'm worried about, and all I have been worried about is the guys in the change room.
"We're the ones who go out there and do the work so it's like every Test match, our focus has been on what we're trying to do.
"There's always outside noise, there's always outside opinions which comes with the territory.
"He (Taylor) knows what it's like to be within those four walls, he was in there for 112 Test matches.
"So it's a little bit disappointing, but in saying that there's full belief within those four walls we can get the job done in the next five days."

Tim Southee is playing his 100th tets match of his career and so far he is wicketless but he scored some vital 26 runs in the 1st inning against Australia. Let's see if he can take a few wickets as well to make this test memorable for himself.

New Zealand cricket great Tim Southee plans to finish his Test career at his home ground of Seddon Park in Hamilton against England this December.
The BLACKCAPS all-time leading international wicket-taker (770) confirmed the marque three-Test series against England would be his last for New Zealand, unless the side qualified for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final next June - for which he’d make himself available.
Following the England series, Southee will make a decision on whether he has one final BLACKCAPS white-ball swansong against Sri Lanka after Christmas.

He's had a heck of a career. 385 wickets in 104 matches in no small feat. Second most test wickets for New Zealand ever. Hope he can get to 400 in this series. He went from being just another bowler in a thoroughly mediocre New Zealand side to the senior pro in one of the most consistent pace-attacks in world cricket, with Trent Boult and Neil Wagner. Was a key player during arguably the greatest period for New Zealand cricket in close to three decades and without his reliability and consistency I question how successful New Zealand would have been during this time. I found him comparable to Anderson in a lot of ways because he is another guy who managed to be really good for a really long period of time. Which is an art that doesn't get enough appreciation in this sport. The fact that he has literally seen New Zealand go from being a not so good team to a really good one in real-time is astonishing. And I'm really glad that he got to pe a part of that historic series win in India. Along with the WTC and the series wins in England and UAE, he has certainly witnessed some of the dizzying highs of New Zealand cricket. Not to mention, a highly dominant home run where they were unbeaten at home for the better part of 6 years. Also love the decision to retire against England at home, the same place and the same team he started his career against.
Ironically enough I can't think of a favourite spell of his. So I'll just go with his four wicket haul in second innings of the WTC final, where he trapped both Rohit and Gill and effectively set the stage for the Boult and Jamieson to pounce and bowl India out for a cheap total.

End of an era.
I still remember his debut Test in 2008. That was against England too.

Southee sent off in style as New Zealand jump to fourth on WTC standings
An impressive victory from New Zealand as Tim Southee finishes his Test career a winner.
Retiring fast bowler Tim Southee received a perfect sendoff from Test cricket as New Zealand clinched an emphatic 423-run triumph over England in the third Test in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Southee had already indicated a desire to retire from the longest format at the completion of the Test series against England and the veteran right-armer finished his Test career in style as the Black Caps dismissed England for just 234 on Tuesday to clinch an easy victory.
While England had already clinched the series with wins from the opening two matches, the victory for New Zealand saw them rise above their European counterparts and claim fourth place on the latest ICC World Test Championship standings.
New Zealand and England have both completed their World Test Championship campaigns and are out of contention for next year's final, with the Kiwis left to rue disappointing defeats from the opening two matches of this series.
England too will be frustrated at some inconsistent results throughout their campaign, as they fall to sixth on the standings and behind both New Zealand (fourth) and Sri Lanka in fifth.
Southee picked up a pair of wickets during England's second innings to finish his career with 391 Test scalps, with teammates Mitchell Santner (4/85) and Matt Henry (2/62) doing the majority of the damage to offset half-centuries from Jacob Bethell (76) and Joe Root (54).
Santner was adjudged Player of the Match in his first appearance of the series for his seven wickets and 125 runs across the two innings, while Harry Brook was named Player of the Series for his 350 runs over the three contests.

Tim Southee said in the farewell ceremony:
"100 sixes, 400 test wickets, 100 catches, whatever, that would have all been nice, but I'm just very grateful for what I've been able to do. The time I've had in the hat has been pretty special."
"As a kid, I just wanted to grow up and represent New Zealand, so to sit here and have nearly 800 wickets, it's pretty satisfying."
"It would have been only fitting that Tim could have ended his career if he had reached the 400 Test wicket mark. In my opinion, he deserved that."
"That’s always been a dream, but I’ll have to see how the body pulls up over the next wee while."
