Tim Southee is a New Zealand international cricketer who has made a mark for his country in all 3 formats of the game, with his nippy outswing bowling and more than handy contributions lower down the order with a bat in hand.

Tim’s crowning performance came at the 2011 ODI World Cup where he was the 3rd highest wicket-taker, picking up 18 wickets in unhelpful conditions, and helped New Zealand reach the semi-final.

Tim Southee Facts

  1. He excelled at both cricket and rugby during his school days and played representative rugby for Auckland Secondary School as well as New Zealand’s Northern Region team.
  2. At the end of the 2007–08 domestic season, New Zealand’s first-class cricketers voted Tim as the country’s ‘Most Promising Cricketer’.
  3. He made his Test Match debut aged only 19 years and 102 days and made it an occasion to remember with splendid performances with both bat and ball. He took a 5-wicket haul and then reeled off a score of 77 not out from just 40 balls. It was New Zealand’s fastest Test match half-century at that time, coming in just 29 balls. His innings also included 9 sixes and at that time only 4 cricketers had hit more sixes in an innings in the history of Test Cricket.
  4. In a December 2010 match against Pakistan, he became only the 3rd player and 2nd New Zealander, to take a T20I hat-trick. His spell of 5/18 was also honored by the ICC (International Cricket Council) with the ‘Twenty20 International Performance of the Year’ award.
  5. During a Friends Life T20 match for the English county team Essex in 2011, Tim recorded figures of 6/16, including a hat-trick. Those were the best figures at that time in the history of Essex in the T20 format.
  6. He was named ‘T20 Player of the Year’ by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) for the 2010-11 season. He was also named in the ‘World Test XI’ by ICC in 2014.
  7. Tim’s sensational 7-wicket haul in a round-robin league game against England at the 2015 ICC World Cup, was named as Wisden’s ‘ODI Spell of the Decade’.
  8. In a rare turn of events, Tim found himself bowling 2 super overs (tie-breakers in T20 games) in the super 8 stages of the World T20 in 2012 – against hosts Sri Lanka and eventual champions West Indies. Unfortunately, New Zealand lost both games and crashed out of the tournament.
  9. In August 2023, Tim became the highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket history with 141 wickets.
  10. In September 2023, Tim dislocated and fractured his right thumb while attempting to take a catch during a match.
  11. In January 2024, Tim became the first bowler to take 150 wickets in T20I cricket history. He achieved this feat after taking 4 wickets during a match against Pakistan.
