Top 10 New Zealand bowlers of all time

#3 Shane Bond

Shane Bond is widely regarded as New Zealand's most scary fast bowler since Richard Hadlee

An injury prone short career saw Shane Bond earn the praise of critics and fans, who hailed him as the best New Zealand bowler since the legendary Sir Richard Hadlee, for his searing pace, toe-crushing yorkers and match-winning abilities. His career was hampered by constant injuries but that did not deter him from sending shivers down the batsmen's spine with his pace.

He clocked his fastest delivery at 156.4km/hr in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. Although he had a forgettable Test debut, Bond made rapid strides in limited-overs cricket. He picked up 21 wickets in a VB Tri-Series involving South Africa and Australia, earning the player of the series award. In the 2003 World Cup, Bond picked up career-best figures of 6/23 against Australia. Constant back injuries caused by a soft tissue cut short a very promising International career.
