Jesse Ryder's Cricket Journey
Starting His International Career
On January 30, 2008, Jesse Ryder was selected for New Zealand's Twenty20 and ODI teams to play against England. The New Zealand Cricket Selection Manager, Richard Hadlee, believed Jesse had the potential to start games with powerful hitting alongside Brendon McCullum. This was an exciting time for his career.
Jesse's 2007/08 season ended early on February 24, 2008, when he injured his hand. This injury meant he could not play for a while.
Key Moments in His Career
Jesse Ryder had a great tour of India. He was New Zealand's top batsman in the five ODIs, scoring 225 runs. He achieved his first ODI century for New Zealand in the third match. He was also named "man of the match" in the fifth game for his excellent all-round performance, taking 3 wickets and scoring 63 runs. His century (105 runs off 72 balls) was the third fastest ODI century for New Zealand at the time. Ryder and Brendon McCullum formed a strong opening partnership, sharing two century stands in four innings.
In the second Test match at Napier, Jesse Ryder scored his first double century, reaching 201 runs. He and Ross Taylor (who scored 151) set a new record for the fourth-wicket partnership against all countries for New Zealand, scoring 271 runs together. This was also the fourth-highest Test partnership ever for New Zealand. Jesse became the first New Zealander since Nathan Astle to score two centuries in two Test matches in a row.
Jesse's involvement in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 tournament was limited due to an injury. He scored 31 runs quickly against Scotland but then had to leave the competition. He was replaced by Aaron Redmond.
During an Indian innings, Jesse Ryder took the important wicket of Indian opener Gautam Gambhir. His return to form continued as he scored his third Test century, which was his first outside New Zealand. This century came while New Zealand was trying to catch India's large first innings total of 429 runs. He shared a 194-run partnership with new player Kane Williamson, who scored 87 not out. Jesse scored 103 runs before being dismissed.
Taking a Break and Returning to Cricket
Jesse Ryder faced some challenges and decided to take a break from international cricket on March 8, 2012. This decision followed some injury concerns and personal reasons.
Even though he was playing well in December 2012, scoring 162 runs in a game, Jesse said he was not yet ready to return to international cricket.
Ryder did return to international cricket when he was called up for the ODI team to play against the West Indies. On January 1, 2014, at the Queenstown Events Centre, Jesse Ryder and Corey Anderson made history. Anderson broke a 17-year-old record for the fastest ODI hundred, scoring his in just 36 balls. He ended up with 131 runs not out, including 14 sixes. Together with Ryder, they helped New Zealand set a team record for the most sixes in an ODI innings. Ryder himself scored the sixth fastest century, reaching 104 runs in only 46 balls with 5 sixes.
He was selected again for the New Zealand team for the one-day series against the West Indies on December 19, 2013. In his first match back, he didn't score any runs. However, in the third match at Queenstown, he hit a century off 46 balls in a shorter game. He and Corey Anderson put on over 200 runs together. New Zealand went on to win the ODI series 4-1 and the T20 series 2–0.
Ryder was also chosen for the New Zealand team to play India in a five-match one-day international series starting January 19, 2014.
Playing for Clubs
Jesse Ryder moved to the Otago Volts in 2013. This move was very successful for him. He scored two centuries and two half-centuries after returning to play between October and December 2013.
Starting in the 2014 English cricket season, Jesse Ryder signed a contract to play for Essex. He performed very well, taking 43 wickets in his first season and 44 wickets in the 2015 season.
In November 2017, he achieved a significant milestone by scoring his 25th century in first-class cricket. This happened while he was batting for Central Districts against Auckland in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season.
