In all World Cups, Southee's figures stand third behind the great Glenn McGrath (7/14 against Namibia in 2003) and another Aussie Andy Bichel (7/20 against England in 2003).

Bowlers taking more than five wickets is no rarity but the 26-year-old's spell against England was special for one simple reason. His was a perfect display of fiery pace with immaculate line and length right from the start. Result - England were bowled out for a paltry 123 runs, with Southee scalping 7/33 from nine overs.

It was also New Zealand's best ODI bowling effort by an individual, with Southee eclipsing his bowling coach Shane Bond's 6/19 against India. He single-handedly destroyed the English batting order.
