Top 10 New Zealand batsmen of all time

#6 Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum's slam-bang approach at the top was a joy to watch

Only one word can be used to describe Brendon McCullum the batsman. Freak. A thorough entertainer, he is the only batsman from New Zealand to have scored a triple century. Moreover, he has a freakish strike rate of 64.60 across 101 Tests.

He set the tone for the innings more often than not with his savage hitting at the top of the order and turned New Zealand into one of the best sides in ODI and T20 cricket. McCullum might not have been everyone’s idea of a true batsman but he was effective in what he did and will go down in history as one of New Zealand’s greatest ever.
