World Cup 2015 Statistics: Tim Southee's 7/33 Best by a Kiwi in ODIs as England Buckle to Massive Loss

Tim Southee was always a renowned name in the pace bowling circles. On Friday though, he became a lethal force batsmen all over would be cautious against. After all, it isn't every day that a bowler almost single-handedly dismantles the national English team. That's exactly what the New Zealand seamer did as his 7/33 silenced the Three Lions who succumbed to an eight-wicket loss at Wellington on Friday. (Match scorecard | Match highlights | Report)

Southee bowled a dogged line right from the start and reaped rewards in quick succession. England chose to bat first but had no answer against the pace attack. The Kiwi came, saw and conquered - claiming his second five-wicket haul in the process. His first was against Pakistan at the same venue four years ago.

Such was the impact of his bowling that Southee even outshone his bowling coach - Shane Bond, whose 6/19 against India was the best by a Kiwi in ODIs till Friday's match. Apart from Southee and Bond, legendary Richard Hadlee is the only other New Zealander to have claimed a fifer in World Cups. He took five for 25 against Sri Lanka in the 1983 edition.

In sharp contrast, the statistics for England were nightmarish. The team crashed to its third-lowest total (123) in World Cups with 93 against Australia (1975) being the lowest.
