Hadlee took 431 in 86 matches at an average of 22.29. In this list, Daniel Vettori (361) and Tim Southee (328) are at number two and third respectively.
Left-handed bowler Bolt said about this achievement, 'Actually, milestones do not matter, there are some big names in this list. There was a good pace and bounce on this wicket, due to which I enjoyed bowling. Bowling with Saudi gives our team a good left-right combination. We are in a very good position. One has to bowl only with line and length, there is always something to be gained from the pitch.
