BBL 2016/17: Top 5 moments from the Brisbane Heat-Hobart Hurricanes clash

#2 Brendon McCullum’s in the house

McCullum gave a powerful start to Brisbane’s chase

It was no coincidence that Brendon McCullum hammered his way to the quickest ever Test ton in his very final match. The right-hander usually starts from fourth gear and keeps pushing the pace. He was at it again with a packed Gabba providing the perfect setting.

Despite being the skipper and witnessing his opening partner walking back quite early, McCullum did not shy away from his natural style. After greeting Stuart Broad with a 104-meter monster six, the 35-year old laid into Clive Rose’s harmless left-arm spin to make a mockery of the chase. During the course of his 35-ball 72, the former New Zealand skipper also became only the third batsman ever to complete 7000 runs in all T20 cricket after Chris Gayle and Brad Hodge.
