Tim Southee Eyes Historic Milestones In Final Test Against England

New Zealand's veteran fast bowler Tim Southee is all set for the last match of his Test career. The 36-year-old player will play his farewell Test against England on Saturday, December 14 at his home ground Seddon Park, Hamilton. This match is going to be very special for him, because he can say goodbye to his illustrious career with two big records in this match.

DREAM OF 400 TEST WICKETS

Southee needs 11 more wickets to complete 400 wickets in his Test career. If he reaches this historic milestone, he will become the second Kiwi bowler to do so after New Zealand great Sir Richard Hadlee (431 wickets). Taking 400 wickets in Test cricket is a big honor for any bowler. However, this challenge will not be easy against England's batsmen.

Currently, Muttiah Muralitharan (800) is the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. Southee's contribution to New Zealand has always been special, and this achievement could add another shining page to his illustrious career.

UNIQUE RECORD OF 100 SIXES

Apart from bowling, Southee is also known for his explosive batting style. In Test cricket, he has hit 95 sixes so far. If he hits 5 more sixes in this match, then he will become the fourth batsman in the world to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. This list includes Adam Gilchrist (100), Brendon McCullum (107), and Ben Stokes (133).

Southee can become the second batsman to touch the 100 sixes mark for New Zealand. His achievement will make his career even more memorable.

EMOTIONAL FAREWELL FOR SOUTHEE

This Test is going to be emotional for Tim Southee as he is leaving behind a career in which he has left his mark with both ball and bat. Fans hope that Southee will make his farewell match memorable.

The contribution that Tim Southee has made to cricket will always be remembered by everyone all over the world. His fans and teammates are wishing him the best for his last match.
