The aggressiveness about the game, taking risks changed his cricket career for all, what a player ❤️

[@irfandagman8044]

I remember charging on the pitch like him and using a puma bat ❤

[@ankitarpanmohanty6582]

That bat has faced some good Yorkers....😂

[@mdratulkhan3646]

This seems like Key interviewing Baz for coach😮 He was convinced and now we are all ..

[@arandomperson3840]

Someone tell him to give another batting masterclass to England and teach them how to leave the short balls.

[@Jo_oJ94]

Leave the short balls especially in test!!

[@thomridgeway1438]

He did and (after one test) they did! Only the rain saved Australia from a humiliating defeat

@@Jehandaruwalla yup real gangster in tests are Sehwag n Hayden

[@agasthya7180]

@@topgunsam Except, McCullum's away average is 28 while his home average is 47. In New Zealand, instead of pitch deteriorating as the game progresses, it becomes much batting friendly, which is helpful for middle to lower order batters like McCullum

[@SuperEdge67]

Most of his career he was also the wicketkeeper. So 38 ave for a keeper is actually very good.

[@c3vzn]

I mean Stokes averages 36 and I'd take a masterclass from him any day. The players that average high are consistent but that doesn't players like this can't be just as good as them on their day.

[@TomMarvan]

Probably don’t want have a chat to your partner until the umpire calls “over.”

Legacy is not made by the style of bazball go win wtc u aint winning that, aus are up for another after ist title. England odi style was also incomplete wo the wc 2019 title regardless how good they played. Dont ruin test cricket these brooks crawley stand exposed

Tell me what is a test math.... play in patience and get all outnon 60..... is this is what a test cricket is... also bazball is not ruining the test cricket.... i can give you 100 of arguments on this if you want

[@andreashessler838]

​@@ehsanmaqbool5786You're talking nonsense my friend and I'll tell you why. Test cricket is dying, it's as simple as that. Without this kind of paradigm shift, it will die completely. People want to be entertained with aggressive cricket as nobody has an attention span for more than 5 seconds nowadays. Top players are thinking twice about playing test cricket because it doesn't pay the bills. England are saving test cricket with this way of playing. A lot of the ex-pros have admitted as much.

[@ehsanmaqbool5786]

@@andreashessler838 yeah it is entertaining but how does it pay there bills they still get the same match fees and same old results 2-2 vs ind before bazball and 2019 ashes and 2-2 ashes 2023 in home after bazball. It is not killing cricket for sure it will attract people but all i am saying is this method will get exposed sooner or later. And lets see they become no. 1 test team or win any away tours, this was in home. Everyone loves a winning team. Pujara was monk and what not in aus defending defending and now he is considered a failure bcz he blocks a lot wt does it mean his method was never wrong he just floped badly thats it. Regarding test cricket dying u r right nobody has attention span of 5 secs even they wont even watch bazball believe me bcz still it gets played 4 5 days, t20 is watched only these days in afg amd even smaller nations. I myself watched every test ball every session but cant watch now even odis not fully, i skip that too mostly even football 30 35 mins. But true cricket fans will watch some imp matches or find ways to plug in atleast somehow

[@ark28]

A masterclass from the man who forgot to watch the ball in the first over of a World Cup final! What a genius 😂

In all honesty, I don't think that's good strategy in tests.

Seems to work for him and England.

[@yaboyted817]

How many players do England have with a good defensive technique? Honestly I think the style suits the team that they have.

Batting masterclass from someone who averaged 30 bizarre

[@christopherdavis4135]

Averaged about 36, plus he was a wicket keeper and batted lower down the order.

​@@AswinAswin-zk1lwYES HEA IS THE FASTEST TO HIT 100 SIXES AT TESTS

[@MrPhilknight1]

@@skrrttz he played 101 tests and was keeper 52 times. The opening experiment was not successful as he tried to emulate a Sehwag type career; however, he was reasonably successful as a test number 5. He will be remembered as an inspiring NZ captain, for his incredible form in most of the 2015 WC, and that test triple ton - NZ's first. He would not claim to be a great but he was a major part of a very successful era for NZ.
