Anyway Southee must be a frustrating cricketer for the kiwis with the bat, so much talent never seems to do it under pressure though. Amazing amount of 6's per innings, but mostly when they don't matter.”
Yeah Southee does look good while batting, surprise he hasn't had any success with the bat in the ODI/T20 you can actually see him being a successful lower order pinch hitter.
Think Chennai brought him for a decent amount for one year since they believed he could be a good lower order finisher and death bowler for them.
hasn't really delivered with the bat but it probably doesn't really matter too much with Southee improving loads with the ball since then.
