Next on the list is Ferguson's partner in crime, the Kiwi speedster, Trent Boult. Having taken 38 wickets at an average of 23.97, he earns the second spot on the list. Among the top 10 wicket-takers of the year, Trent Boult boasts of the best economy rate of 4.70. His left-arm action gives him the angle to swing the ball both ways and his heroics in the field make him a complete package and New Zealand's go-to bowler in all conditions.
Rated as one of the best Kiwi fast bowlers by Sir Richard Hadlee, he was instrumental in the Black Caps' campaign at the World Cup this year. With his ability to switch between the three formats easily and scalp numerous wickets at a phenomenal economy rate, Boult has become a valuable asset for New Zealand over the years.
