The end of an Era

Even before the inception of t20 cricket Baz showcased the glimpses of t20 style batting by Smoking sixes and fours from the word go. In cricket opening an innings means leaving good balls playing cautiously and building partnership making the job easier for the other batsmen to follow, but Mccullum gave opening a new definition as he would lead his team and start the innings in an explosive manner changing the way openers played the game in the previous times.                 Brendon Barrie  "Baz" Mccullum made his ODI and t20 debut against Australia...
