Matt Henry is a New Zealand fast bowler who has taken 858 career wickets and scored 13 fifties across all formats.
This New Zealand bowler presents a moderate guessing challenge for cricket enthusiasts. New Zealand has a strong bowling tradition but a smaller cricket population than major cricketing nations, which helps narrow the field. The nationality clue immediately eliminates players from larger cricket nations while focusing attention on a select group of successful New Zealand bowlers.
The statistical profile of 858 career wickets indicates a successful international bowling career with sustained performance. This wicket tally places the player among accomplished international bowlers without reaching the very highest echelon of all-time greats. The 13 fifties with the bat and 3406 runs show reasonable lower-order contributions, while zero centuries confirms bowling as the primary skill. The combination of statistics suggests a modern-era player with solid all-format credentials.
Cricket followers familiar with New Zealand's current and recent bowling attacks should find this relatively straightforward. The wicket count is distinctive enough to narrow possibilities significantly when combined with nationality. Casual fans might struggle without detailed knowledge of New Zealand's pace bowling stocks beyond the most famous names, though the statistical profile provides helpful clues about career trajectory and playing era.
Moderate difficulty due to New Zealand's smaller cricket pool (+1) and solid but not exceptional wicket tally (+1). The contemporary era and sustained international career prevent higher difficulty.
The 858 wickets identifies a successful career bowler, immediately narrowing to accomplished international performers. New Zealand nationality significantly reduces the candidate pool compared to larger cricket nations like India, Australia, or England. The bowler role eliminates all-rounders and batsmen, while 13 fifties indicates useful batting contributions that help distinguish from pure tail-enders. Zero centuries confirms bowling specialization.
