Tours to New Zealand:
Bangladesh and Australia
In February Bangladesh
visited New Zealand for
three ODIs, one Twenty20
and a test. Southee went
wicketless in the Twenty20
and first ODI, then missed
the second ODI. He
returned with three wickets
in the third.[43] In the one-
off test he opened the
bowling and took four
wickets across two innings.
New Zealand won by 121
runs, giving them a clean
sweep of the tour.[51]
Australia's tour included
two Twenty20s, five ODIs
and two tests.[52] Southee
played all of these matches
except the first Twenty20.
[43] His series began slowly,
with only two wickets in his
first five games. But in the
last ODI he took 4/36 and
was man of the match in a
51-run victory (the match
was a dead rubber).[53]
Australia won the test
series easily. In the first
match New Zealand only
took five wickets, none of
them falling to Southee.
[54] In the second New
Zealand started by bowling
Australia out for 231.
Southee had four first-
innings wickets and added
two more top-order scalps
in the second. His two
batting scores - 22 not out
and 45 respectively - were
his best since his debut test.
[55][56]
2010 season
Building up to the 2011
World Cup, New Zealand's
northern tours in 2010
focused on short forms of
cricket. The team played
five matches at the 2010
ICC World Twenty20 in the
West Indies, an historic
two-match Twenty20 series
against Sri Lanka in the
United States , four ODIs in
a tournament with Sri
Lanka and India, a five-ODI
series in Bangladesh, then
five ODIs and three tests in
India. The tour to India
lasted until December.
Southee was a squad
member for every series of
the season, playing in 14 of
these 24 matches.[57]
Twenty20s: 2010 ICC
World tournament and
against Sri Lanka in the
USA
Ten months after missing
selection for the 2009 ICC
World Twenty20 Southee
played the first three of
New Zealand's five games
in the 2010 edition, taking
a single wicket in each,[57]
but was dropped on form.
[58] New Zealand were
knocked out at the "Super
8" stage.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka
then played two matches
at Central Broward
Regional Park in Lauderhill,
Florida. This was the first
time full ICC members
played each other in the
United States.[59] Across
the two games Southee
only bowled four overs,
ending with a combined
0/25.[57]
New Zealand in Sri
Lanka, Bangladesh and
India
The three sub-continental
countries that New Zealand
toured to in 2010 were to
host the ICC World Cup in
March and April 2011. The
tours were seen as
important pre-cup practice
[60] but New Zealand lost
every series.[61] Southee
took six wickets in seven
ODIs (including four in one
match), and four wickets in
two tests.
In August New Zealand
played a triangular one-day
tournament hosted by Sri
Lanka and including India.
They played four matches,
all in Dambulla, selecting
Southee for the second (a
loss to Sri Lanka) and
fourth (a "comprehensive
thrashing"[62] against
India), in which he took
four wickets. New Zealand
finished third.
It wasn't until October that
New Zealand toured again,
this time to Bangladesh for
five ODIs in Dhaka. The
tourists were "thoroughly
outplayed throughout the
series"[63] and didn't win a
match. Southee played in
two of the matches
without taking a wicket.
The team to India played
three tests (for the first
time since March) and five
ODIs. New Zealand didn't
win a game, though the
first two tests were drawn.
[64] Southee missed the
first test but replaced
Jeetan Patel for the last
two. He took four wickets
at an average of 56. He
played in three of the ODIs
but didn't bowl in the last
of them (India's chase only
lasted 22 overs[65]), and
took a combined 1/97.

Cricket Australia Emerging Players Tournament
In late July and early
August the Australian
Institute of Sport hosted a
four-team tournament
including "emerging
players" teams from New
Zealand, India and South
Africa. The tournament
combined both Twenty20
matches (New Zealand
played two) and one-day
matches (six). Southee
played all eight matches
for New Zealand, finishing
with 12 wickets - twice as
many as any of his team-
mates - at 28.66.[38] He
scored runs quickly with 55
off 56 balls in the one-days
matches.[39] New Zealand
won only one game.
New Zealand A tour to
India
Within a week of the
tournament finishing in
Australia, Southee arrived
in Chennai, India to play
four two-day games and a
50-over match with the
New Zealand A side.
Southee took only three
wickets in the two-day
matches (one in each of
New Zealand's bowling
innings, with one game
ruined by rain). In the one-
day match he took 3/37 off
six overs.[40]
This tour was also Shane
Bond's return to New
Zealand cricket, having
been banned after he
joined the rebel Indian
Cricket League.[41] Bond
was then chosen ahead of
Southee for the 2009 ICC
Champions Trophy in
South Africa.[42]
2009-2010 season
After missing the 2009
winter season Southee
became a regular selection
for New Zealand in the
2009-10 summer, playing
18 of the season's 22
international matches
against Pakistan,
Bangladesh and Australia.
[43] He also played ten
HRV Cup matches for
Northern Districts in
January.[44]
Against Pakistan
With bowler Daryl Tuffey
unavailable due to a
broken hand, Southee
regained a place in the
New Zealand side that
travelled to Abu Dhabi and
Dubai to play three ODIs
and two Twenty20s against
Pakistan.[45][46] Before the
series captain and stand-in
coach Daniel Vettori said
he hoped that Southee
could "cement his place" in
the side.[47] Vettori picked
him for all five matches,
across which he took seven
wickets (four in the ODIs,
three in Twenty20s).[43]
The teams moved to New
Zealand for a three test
series. Before the series
Southee played for an
invitational XI in a three-
day match against the
tourists[48] but he "didn't
think I bowled very
well"[49] and was omitted
for the first two tests. He
returned to Northern
Districts and immediately
took 8/27 in a Plunket
Shield match against
Wellington, the third-best
figures in Northern Districts
history.[49] (The Wellington
match was marred for
Southee by a two-day
suspension for swearing.
[50]) He was added to the
New Zealand team for the
third and final test, in
Napier, opening the
bowling and taking three
wickets.[43]

2009 winter season - lower-level internationals
Southee retained one of
New Zealand Cricket's 20
player contracts for the 12
months from 1 August
2009[37] but through the
winter season was left out
of Black Caps teams.
Instead he played as a New
Zealand emerging player,
and for New Zealand A. His
results were encouraging
but Shane Bond's return to
international cricket gave
him another rival for
international selection.

India in New Zealand
New Zealand finished the
summer hosting India for
two Twenty20s, five ODIs
and three tests. With Kyle
Mills injured Southee
played both Twenty20
matches, taking 1/42 and
1/36.[30][31] New Zealand
named a 12-man squad for
the first three ODIs with
Mills returning alongside
Southee and fellow seam
bowlers Iain O'Brien and
Ian Butler. Initially Southee
and Butler were seen as
competing for a starting
spot.[32] Butler played all
three matches but Southee
replaced Iain O'Brien in the
third.[33] He was hit for 105
runs without taking a
wicket[34] and then
dropped from the squad.
[35]
Southee played only in the
third of the tests, ahead of
Mills and Jeetan Patel. India
continued to dominate
him, and his 30 overs across
both innings cost 152 runs
for only 3 wickets.[36] The
match was a draw, letting
India win the series 1-0.

ODIs and Twenty20s in Australia
In February 2009 New
Zealand visited Australia
for a five-match Chappell-
Hadlee Trophy ODI series
and a single Twenty20.
Southee played all the
one-day matches but only
took three wickets,
averaging 84.33.[28] The
series was drawn 2-2 and
Australia retained the
Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.
The Twenty20 match, which
was a 1-run win to
Australia, saw Southee take
1/31.[29]

The first in-bound tourists
of the summer were the
West Indies, beginning with
a test series for which
Southee was dropped. He
returned to Northern
Districts for the first time
since the previous season.
[25] The national team
picked Southee again for
two Twenty20s, across
which he took 2/83,[26]
and five ODIs (5/180, with
two matches being drawn
due to rain).[27]
