IPL 2008 Centurion: Brendon McCullum

[norths8]

Still the most famous innings in T20

[MrBillybent101]

he was smashing the likes of zaheer khan, praveen kumar, jaques kallis..anyone calling this a fluke needs to change their sport

[onlinefriend4ever]

Well thats not bad 158 runs in 20 Overs.

Tendulkar made 200 in 50 overs and people went crazy.

Imagine if he would have batted for 50 overs..lolzz

[mukarung1]

@onlinefriend4ever thats the number of total over in the innings.. doesnt mean they batted each ball of those 50 and 20 overs dude.. some logic..

[onlinefriend4ever]

@mukarung1 ofcourse im talking about inning,,

He Scored 158 Of 20 Over Game,,,If it was 50 Over game then,, :-)

[onlinefriend4ever]

@mukarung1 He only faced 73 balls and tendulkar faced over 160 to reach 200...If he would have faced 160 then he would have scored over 300.He played Just too goood.

[mukarung1]

@onlinefriend4ever take it this way buddy.. if u run a mile in 8 mins. then it doesnt mean you can run 100 miles in 80 mins.. got that? i dont think he would hav the energy to go all the way to 160 balls... here's a new lesson called endurance for u.

[onlinefriend4ever]

@mukarung1 oh did i hurt you :-) to score over 200 he only need few balls.And his a cricketer his not sachin who would get tired that quickly.. ;)

[mukarung1]

@onlinefriend4ever i think ur hurt urself while u were born and i think it effected ur mental abilites to think.. 160 balls are more than double of 73 balls.. and after facing 73.. he was looking tired as hell.. already! i dont think he would last 160 balls.. and even if he did.. i dont think he would make 200 runs..

[onlinefriend4ever]

@mukarung1 I bet you didnt even thought he would make 158 too...lolzz

But he done it :-)

[indianpunjabi4u]

@mukarung1 WAT U KNW ABOUT CRICKET HAH .....NEPALI HAAAHAAAA WHERE IS UR NEPAL IN CRICKET HAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

[XIcedLollyX]

[Tejas6500]

It is Best century in IPL

[vinaykang]

awesum cricket

[mdjameel1995]

exilinent batting briliyant shots mccullum is best batsmen

[cricketmad27]

Greatest thing about this knock is that it was a bowler friendly track! No other batter made it past 20 for the whole game and the ball was swinging and seaming a bit early on!

[hafizmuhammadahmad]

good

[Hodgeisdaman]

omg he batted with ponting cool go ponting

[majesticmaniac]

After what 4 seasons...this still remains the best knock i have seen played in IPL.....The 37 ball century by Yusuf Pathan comes a close second thou.

[megahobo112]

what a start to the ipl

[drfrederickwilliams1]

kochi's got him babyyy!!!!

[tmanhigh]

In my opionion the Napier 152* was more impressive. He scored 152* off 58 balls at a strike rate of 262. This 158 off 73 was a strike rate of 'only' 216.5. Also the bowling in this match looked horrific, he must have faced at least 10 full tosses. Unbelievable effort though. I once scored 102* in a T20, but 150+ is just mental... (can't say i was facing 90mph bowling either).

[soham3205]

i am  indian, bt i jst love this man........ awesome player.....

[jasonvoorhees2019]

wonder what mccullum has for dinner.

[ecconz]

@jasonvoorhees2019 Indians.

[thatguyyouknow2]

[nathy10bro]

proud to be a kiwi

[majesticmaniac]

[darkangel2327]

hehe......if you really meant,than thanx!!!!

[airlines747]

kolkata power KKR

[haramjada007]

he was awesome that night!!!!

[MrVilly22]

B.McCullum is currently the best T20 batsmen at the moment and probably in the last 2-3 years.

1. B.McCullum (NZ)

2. T. Dilshan (SL)

3. C.Gayle (WI)

4. R.Taylor (NZ)

5. D. Warner (Aus)

[basilbrushnz]

@MrVilly22 I would put Taylor at 1, 115 6's in 65 innings (no one is even close to that), 34 average and SR of 156, none of the others you mentioned have better records/

[soom66]

Ho ho ho mrvilly u've forgotten a whole batting team here . Where's Yuvraj (do u even know his strike rate in t20s) & Jayasuriya( the original marauder of bowlers) , Sehwag ( the boundary man - can hit 4's like he's eating a pie) Dhoni( captain, batter, keeper has it all ) Gambhir & Bosman (solid openers), Smith ( at the top of the order there's hardly anyone who can match his skill) & Jacob Oram (the pinch hitter, if his side is 8 down & needing 70 of 40 balls he could easily win it for them)

[nolightsnomusic]

I agree with both you and Mr Villy. I rate McCullum as the best Twenty20 player in the world at the moment. He has countless records, top score in Twenty20, most runs in Twenty20 Internationals, 3rd most runs in Twenty20, 3rd most 6s in Twenty20, equal most tonnes in Twenty20 and the rest. But your right, there are many more fantastic players in Twenty20. Don't quite agree with your comment about Jacob Oram though haha, hes way past his hayday.

[KARTIKEYA007]

Yuvraj has got to be the best striker of the cricket ball and every1 will agree to it

hes played some terrific knocks,70(30) in WC SEMIFINAL against Australia when india wer looking down and out was unbelievable,and Mccullum WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT ININGS,NEVER.

And hes very inconsistent not a single hundred after that in IPL he stinks

[sampappers05]

@MrVilly22 Watch some of Adam Gilchrist in the IPL and international T20's too. AMazing stuff.

[cooldude9481]

he is good player 4 black caps but not 4 kkr.........

[mattlock7]

Now 116* v Australia! Let's hope he can turn it on in this years IPL.

[gmdchanar]

Nightriders needs this kind of innings from its every batsman if they want to get success in this IPL addition

[herthaberlin94]

his hand speed is ridiculous x)

[subhnahbdochhein]

@KIWI Boy 58: Boy:

Watch you language.

I have seen Denniss Lillee and Jeff Thompson bowl at John Edrich and Geof Boycott in England in the 70's. I have seen G Sobers and Wesley Hall.

You are a kid. You learn the game. The art of batting is to follow the line of the ball. A six is a baseball shot notwithstanding how you hit it.

A good cricket shot is hit along the ground , for example a cover drive, or a square cut or a hook..

IPL has destroyed cricket batting/bowling. It has become Baseball.

[KINGMJ1990]

@subhnahbdochhein

What ae you talking about..Ipl is a great innovation....Test matches should be played in practice...time to scrap it and start league system like football

[subhnahbdochhein]

@ kingmj1990:

You are right. I just watched four matches from last year and they are indeed fun.

[DaysAreOver]

Seen Glenn McGrath and Dirk Nannes bowling in the CL?

[roger2307]

@subhnahbdochhein no your wrong, you are like alot of old cricket supporters.. Cricket is evolving and spreading to a higher amount of people around the world. the new game is exciting, challenging and intense.

[norths8]

@roger2307 Really, so how many new countries are playing cricket now? Since the Indian board has 'taken control' of cricket theyve created a league for their own financial benifit and an unfair advantage for their younger players as well as starting to destroy the international game, theyve used their power to play tests at home instead of traveling so that they could get to no.1 (played Aus, SA, WI twice at home since last series away), and have excluded Pakistan for their own benifit

[roger2307]

@norths8 Ireland, Afganistan, Canada, Scotland are all advancing rapidly in cricket, or even take Bangladesh only been playing professionally 10 years and they are beating the top teams. The new game is broading the game, its because of the old ways of cricket that cricket itself was facing a massive slump in popularity.. this new game is breading new people to the game, it doesn't happen over night but it is slowly getting bigger and bigger

[norths8]

@roger2307 Nice try. Ireland have improved because their playing first class cricket in England now, not because the game has grown, Afganistan qualified for the world t20, but the game hasnt grown, Canada has gone backwards - they used to be a top associate and were growing now theve gone backwards, Bangladesh have barely imrpoved in 10 years at all. This 'new game' is destroying cricket traditions and making the game less skillful, its not improving the popularity at all - its killing cricket

[mrfarhansadiq]

Well! Yeah hes my student,i taught him how to play,Well done my student.RIDE ON MY NOBLE KNIGHT<RIDE ON!

REPLY ME IF GOT THE GUTS!

[subhnahbdochhein]

What a stupid comment. Most of his shots are Tullahs meaning "Gulee DAnda " type shot.

He is basically lifting the ball in the air.

I hate this kind of batting.

He should play like V Sehwag or Laxman or Tendulkar. Now that is class batting.

These white boys are patthetic

[kiwiboy58]

wow omg.. he's hitting the ball in the air.. um it's called hitting sixes?

he gets gets 158 from 73 balls and your calling him pathetic, and questioning his technique?

Learn the game u racist prick.

[cacsbalaji]

@kiwiboy58 This innings i remember was in the very first match of IPL it really lit up the IPL and after this innings believe me cricket was never the same again,this set the tone for the rest of the IPL but too bad KKR didnt do well.Technique who has it dhoni,gilchrist,sehwag they all dont have technique but they still score runs Mcculum has the best pick up shot in business PERIOD.

[pobanmanu]

@kiwiboy58 Brutal, ruthless hitting from McCullum. BTW how can one be racist by calling McCullum a pathetic, I think the better word be stupid, Mental Hospital escaper, or anything like that.

[naarakyuu]

@subhnahbdochhein you are gay.

[subhnahbdochhein]

mrfarhansadiq : You are and idiot . What the hell are you talking about You moronic, Knight Rider irrelevance.

Why are you commenting here if you have nothing useful to say,

People like you should be committed to a mental Asylum, locked up never to see the light of day.

God you are annoying.

[subhnahbdochhein]

He is playing baseball. These are not cricket shots but baseball hits.

What is wrong with these bloody bowlers. They should bowl him a good length with pace.

[ThrashTillDeath322]

some of them are flat batted but most were pull shots for six or four, and its 20 / 20 so your pretty much have to score of most balls any way you can.

[1sicvr4]

I wish he would play like this for the Black Caps!

[jrind23]

excellent way to open up the IPL

[Alieaz]

I could watch this all day. This guy has the best hand-eye co-ordination and hand speed I've ever seen. He's now averaging over 30 in ODI's too now that he's opening the batting.

[buncharebels]

legend

[reece754]

that was incredible

[spreacus]

@reece754 Incredible says it all!

[reece754]
