Five current players with most Test sixes in the last five years

#3 Tim Southee - 35

Southee has torn apart quite a few attacks over the years

The New Zealand tail ender is a surprise entry on this list. His batting ability, though, has never been in question ever since his career-best 77* on debut against England which included nine hits out of the ground.

Since then, he has always been an aggressive batting option down the order for the Kiwis. He has, however, taken that to another level in the past five years, despite getting only one half-century. More often than not, New Zealand can bank on him to get a few handy runs lower down the order.

Most of his runs during the period have come at a pretty good strike rate of around 92. The strike rate might very well explain the huge number of sixes he has in the format in recent years.
