Hitting hundred 6’s in test cricket Brendon MacCullum made a record few days ago. Now in his last ODI match he reaches into another milestone by hitting 200 sixes in ODI Internationals.
He just needed only 3 sixes to make that record in his last match. He did hit those covetable 6’s in his innings of 47 runs in 27 balls. In all the cases the victim was the young aussie bowlers Scott Boland. And Maccullum finished his career with exact 200 sixes.
He knew about the landmark and it was also in his head, MACcullum said this in the post-match presentation ceremony.
New-Zealand Cricketer Brendon MacCullum played 260 ODI’s Internationals for his country in his career which is the 3rd highest. The 1st in this record is Daniel Vettori who played 291 ODI’s and the 2nd is Stephen Fleming who played 279 ODI’s.
He is also in 3rd position in list of Total Run by scoring 6083 runs. Former opener Nathan Astle is the 2nd position who scored 7090 runs and Stephen Fleming is the 1st in this list 8007 runs. Brendon MacCullum also played 62 ODI’s as the Captain of New-Zealand Cricket Team and won 36 of them with the percentage of 61.86. His strike rate is 96.37 which is the 2nd in list of World record.
Brendon MacCullum is also successful as Wicket keeper. He made 242 dismissals among them 227 was catch and stamping was 15. He made 5 dismissals in one innings 5 times which is also a record.
Lots of record can also be found in the Record Book about him but those can express him a little. He was a panic to all the bowlers in the world and gave lots of entertainment to all the spectators. He tried to give his team more combative and offensive when he was the captain.
He takes his retirement by winning the Chappell Hadlee Trophy 2016 against Australia. But his greatest achievement is winning the heart of million people.
