Is Brendon McCullum becoming another master blaster?

Question

likes of Viv, Sachin ,Sanath?

Answer 1

So far he has blasted one innings, i very much doubt he will score 100+ in the same fashion every match. Like Dhoni said: he played a good innings and it would be almost impposible to duplicate

Answer 2

Yes!

He prooved it, and now we have another Gilchrist!

Gosh! 158* from 73 balls with 10-4's and 13-6's, woah!

Simply Superb!

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

Yes.

On 31 December 2007 he scored 50 from just 19 balls against Bangladesh. He finished his innings with 80 runs from only 28 balls, including 9 fours and 6 sixes with a strike rate of 285.71 resulting in a 10 wicket win: chasing 93 from 50 overs and achieving it making 95 from only 6 overs. As KooKee said, he played a similar innings vs England, and now scored a 158* in a T20 match (which must be the equivalent of a 300 in a 50 over game).

I think he is as good a batsman as Mark Boucher and even better than Dhoni. None of the other wicketkeepers in international cricket at the moment even comes close to this (although Brad Haddin might do well now that he gets a regular chance).

Answer 5

Yes. However, he should concentrate to be more consistent.  If he continues with his present form, he will be another Adam Gilchrist of the future.

Answer 6

I think he became the new master blaster, a few months ago when he hit the England bowlers all around the park, he averaged 55.25 against England in 4 matches with a S/R of 128 !!!

The unbelievable knock of 158 a few days ago confirmed what everyone already knew !!!. He is one of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket right now.

Is it right to put him in the same group as Viv and Jayasuriya, if McCullum keeps going then YES !!

Answer 7

I simply loved the way he blasted it all.

Maybe he does become a near - Sachin.

Answer 8

hes already a master blaster

Answer 9

He is a master blaster.A real striker.He became popular after his 158* but he was a great  hitter b4 that.His 158 made him famoz.

Answer 10

Just one innings cannot determine a batsmens quality.

It was a good innings no doubt but he needs to prove time and again like Schin or Dhoni that it was no fluke.

Answer 11

u got to be kidding.give him some time.the more established hitter of KKR is GAYLE.

Answer 12

of course!!!

Answer 13

really this is good innings but we can' t say he is master blaster of his only one performances
