The Talented Mr. McCullum

He is just brilliant to watch, isn't he? "This is the way I play, always instinctively. Sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't," Brendon McCullum. The New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman, the owner of one of the most memorable centuries in Twenty20 cricket, turns 33 on September 27, 2014.

For all his exploits and destructive batting in the limited-overs formats, McCullum also did a first for New Zealand in Test cricket when he scored the first-ever triple century by a Kiwi in the longest version of the game.
