Happy Birthday, Shane Bond: Top Spells of The New Zealand Speedster

Happy Birthday, Shane Bond: Top Spells of The New Zealand Speedster

In the year 2000, the Indian batting line-up were on the knees against the pace and bounce of New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond.

In the 1990s, New Zealand produced perhaps the most talented fast bowler in Shane Bond. He came on the heels of several talented fast bowlers like Geoff Allott, Shayne O’Connor, Simon Doull and Dion Nash. However, despite having a career cut short by injuries, the former Canterbury police officer did really make an impact.

Shane reserved his best for his rivals across the pit and his record against Australia is a testament to his prowess. Against Australia, he picked up 44 wickets at an average of 15.80 at a strike rate of 21.48.

In the 2003 World Cup, he ripped the star-studded Australian batting as he dismissed both Australian openers, Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, as well as skipper Ricky Ponting. He then came back to take care of Damien Martyn and Brad Hogg to claim a five-wicket haul. With the dismissal of Ian Harvey, hefinished with six wickets.

He came back with a later spell and took care of Virender Sehwag and Mohammad Kaif to complete a five-wicket haul.
