Top 10 New Zealand fast bowlers of all time

2 Trent Boult

Trent Boult

The left-arm fast bowler first played Test cricket for New Zealand back in 2011, but over the past six years, he has established himself as the team's main strike bowler and pace spearhead, across the three formats of the game. Boult's pace, accuracy, ability to swing the ball either way and intelligence has made him one of the toughest bowlers to face in modern cricket.

He is rightly considered among the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment and over the years, he has also added the perfect yorker as well as the slower ball to his repertoire to become an excellent limited overs bowler.

In 52 Test matches, Boult has taken 200 wickets at an average of 28.56 and a strike rate of 57.6. On the other hand, in 54 one-dayers, he has taken 94 wickets and has recorded a superb economy rate of only 5.04. He has only played 17 T20Is so far but has still recorded an impressive economy rate of 8.16. Boult has taken 26 wickets in the shortest format.
