Tim Southee Reaches 2,000 Test Runs Milestone

New Zealand’s Test captain and fast bowler, Tim Southee, achieved a significant milestone by reaching 2,000 Test runs during the first Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet. Now, he’s in the same league as cricket greats Richard Hadlee and Daniel Vettori.

Scoring 35 in the First Innings
In the Kiwis’ first innings, Southee scored 35 runs off 62 balls, including three boundaries.
He’s now the third player from New Zealand to get more than 2,000 Test runs and take over 300 wickets, just like Hadlee and Vettori did.

Career Snapshot
With 95 Tests under his belt, Southee boasts 2,011 runs at an average of 16.21, including six half-centuries in 135 innings. His best score to date is 77*. Hadlee and Vettori, the cricket stars, also had amazing records, creating a strong impact in New Zealand cricket history.

Match Highlights
The first Test saw the Kiwis finishing their innings at 317, securing a narrow lead of seven runs over Bangladesh’s 310. Kane Williamson’s remarkable century (104 off 205 balls) played a pivotal role, supported by contributions from Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, and Southee.

Bowling Highlights
In Bangladesh’s first innings, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hosein Shanto, and Mominul Haque contributed to a 300-plus total. Glenn Phillips led the Kiwi bowling attack with figures of 4/53, supported by Kyle Jamieson and Ajaz Patel with two wickets each, and contributions from Southee and Ish Sodhi.

Noteworthy Performances
While Taijul Islam (4/109) and Mominul Haque (3/4) stood out as the top performers with the ball for Bangladesh, the match showcased impressive individual and team efforts from both sides.

Tim Southee, New Zealand’s Test Captain, eagerly anticipates a challenging series against Bangladesh, marking the commencement of the WTC cycle on Tuesday.Southee acknowledges the challenge of adapting to challenging pitch and conditions, conceding that earning full WTC points against the Tigers at their home won’t be an easy feat.

“It is not as easy as you say to get the points. We know that Bangladesh are a great side in these conditions. I would imagine a hard-fought Test series,” said Southee in the press conference.

“The start of the new cycle is exciting. It is a tough place to play Tests. Bangladesh are strong in these conditions. We played Tests back in the start of the year. The last cycle didn’t go as well as we planned. The guys involved in the first WTC cycle know how special it is to do well in this championship,” he said.

Southee recognizes the contrast in pitch conditions between New Zealand and Bangladesh, noting that the subcontinent provides more spin-friendly tracks.

“It is foreign conditions compared to New Zealand. Pace plays a big role in New Zealand. Spin historically plays a big role in this part of the world. Our spinners have done some great things in Tests. We are looking forward to them showcasing their skills,” he said.

“It is a different role than what we are used to back in New Zealand. We have three seamers here that offer different strengths. It is a collective bowling unit wherever you play in the world. Everyone chips in different ways. Spin doesn’t play a big part in New Zealand but they will play a bigger role in Bangladesh,” he added.

Mainul Islam — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 12:29:55 +0000

The World Cup was in a devastating mood. But apart from Virat Kohli, the rest of the team could not do well. Suryakumar Yadav has also taken the form of the World Cup to the New Zealand series. In the second T20I of the series at Mount Maunganui, his unbeaten century came from his bat at a strike rate of 217.64.

Kiwi pacer Tim Southee also scored a hat-trick in the event.

After losing the toss, India’s start was cautious. Rishabh Pant (6) broke the opening partnership of 6th 36 runs off Ferguson. Another opener Ishan Kishan scored 36 runs off 31 balls. Suryakumar stormed down to three. After completing the fifty off 32 balls, he became even more dangerous. He scored a century in just 49 balls. This is the second century of his 41-match International T20 career. He made his first appearance against England in Nottingham in July. India’s scoreboard was moving at the speed of the storm.

Tim Southee scored a hat-trick in the last over of the innings. Captain Hardik Pandya (13) was caught by James Neesham in the third ball of the 20th over bowled by the Kiwi pacer. Ferguson took the catch of Deepak Hooda (0) in the next ball. In the fifth ball, Washington Sundar (0) completed the hat-trick by catching Neesham’s palm. In the end, India scored 191 runs in 6 wickets. Surya remained unbeaten on 111 * off 51 balls. His tornado innings included 11 fours and 7 sixes.

Just like a T20 match. Starting with the wicket early. Stormy is batting in the last five overs.
