#3 Ian Butler [New Zealand]

Butler in action for New Zealand in the champions trophy

One of Butler's strongest suits was his ability to extract bounce even off a dead surface, a skill that he used to tremendous effect during his playing days. Butler made his test and ODI debut for New Zealand in 2002 at the back of an injury to speedster Shane Bond.

In his debut test, Butler finished with a five-wicket haul from the match and received accolades from all corners for his gutsy bowling. However, his career was shortened by Shane Bond's return and after his debut, Butler featured in 7 more tests in which he picked 19 wickets.

However, Butler enjoyed a lucrative T20 career in which he played 87 T20Is and picked 104 wickets at a rather steep economy of just over 8. He generally opened the bowling and was a member of the 2009 and 2010 World T20 squads.
