No other NZ bowler comes close to the hauls of Jamieson and Cowie in the same number of initial tests – not surprising, because Jamieson s returns at home against India, the West Indies and Pakistan have rattled world marks for brilliant beginnings. His 36 wickets at an astonishing average of 13.28 have him on track to be just the fourth bowler this century to reach 50 test wickets in nine or fewer matches. Pace bowler Vernon Philander (7), and spinners Yasir Shah and Ravi Ashwin (both 9) are the others.
