Trent Boult was one of the best bowlers for New Zealand in the 2015 World Cup that saw them reach the finals. He has also been Brendon McCullum’s go-to man in whites, considering Tim Southee has been up and down all year, alternating bursts of great fast bowling with mediocre performances.

Boult picked up 36 wickets in just 8 Tests at 31.5 apiece with 2 five-wicket hauls. The 26-year-old left-arm fast bowler is still young in his career with just 37 matches under his belt but is closing in on 150 wickets with a career average under 30, the hallmark of a great bowler.

More importantly, Boult has shown, along with a capability of swinging the ball, the discipline to bowl good lines and lengths all day, day after day. He finished a recent series against Australia at home with 13 wickets, same as Hazlewood and Starc with a five-wicket haul that almost won New Zealand the game.
