Tim Southee was handed a Test debut at the age of 19 against England. He responded taking 5 wickets for 55 before smashing 77 off 40 balls in the second innings with nine sixes.
Since then he has progressed into one of the best bowlers in world cricket, across all three forms of the game, going on to form one of the world's best new-ball partnerships with Trent Boult and establishing himself as one of the most successful players in the modern era.
He is New Zealand’s second all-time leading Test wicket-taker, behind the great Sir Richard Hadlee, and the world’s all-time leading T20 international wicket-taker.
In December 2022, he was named Test captain taking over from Kane Williamson.
Tim Southee joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels for Six and a Song.
