Not Many Have Been Able To Achieve What Southee Has: Williamson Lauds Retiring Pacer
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson heaped praise on his close friend and pacer Tim Southee's illustrious career after the latter announced his retirement from Test cricket following the England series.
Williamson and Southee's cricketing journeys have closely paralleled each other, progressing together from junior and Under-19 levels through domestic cricket to representing New Zealand across all formats. The duo played their 100th Test match together earlier this year against Australia, though Williamson's debut came two-and-a-half years after Southee's.
Both went on to become vital members of the Kiwis squad over the years. Williamson is the leading run-scorer for the side while Southee is the second-highest wicket-taker with 385 scalps, only behind Richard Hadlee.
