Mount Maunganui
New Zealand pace bowler Tim Southee became the third bowler from his country to claim 300 Test wickets on Tuesday.
Southee achieved this feat during the fourth day of the 1st Test against Pakistan at Mount Maunganui. He reached 300 wickets when he dismissed Haris Sohail for 9 in the visitors’ 2nd innings.
Tim Southee sent back Sohail with a full ball outside off stump, which the batsman drove loosely to short extra-cover. The experienced bowler set up Sohail perfectly as the previous ball was a well-directed bouncer.
The 32-year-old now joins two other legends on the list of New Zealand bowlers with 300-plus Test wickets – Daniel Vettori (361) and Richard Hadlee (431). Playing his 76th Test.
