The Modern Icon
Be Like Baz
Can you imagine batting to Mitchell
Starc who is running in with a new cherry in his hand? Can you visualize a
145km/hr ball going through the side of your helmet? However, what if instead of Starc dictating
his terms, you dictate your terms by coming down the track. You might think is
it really possible? Yes it is possible and today I am going to talk out that
man who made such crazy things possible- Brendon Mccullum.
Crazy, daring, courageous, I don’t
care what you bowl attitude, fearless, great leader, optimistic describe whom
Brendon Mccullum truly is....
Fearless

To
be honest, it is not easy to be fearless. It is a trait that I love about him
and I hope I develop this fearlessness soon.
Leadership

Spirit
of Cricket
Nobody
had imagined at the start of the World Cup 2015 that New Zealand will reach the
final with such a dominating performance. They did not have international stars
like Kohli, Root or De Villiers. But what they did have was a leader like
Mccullum. His aggressive style of captaincy and is nothing to lose attitude was
a huge factor in New Zealand's run in the world cup. He proved the saying right
that- "Attitude is everything". He brought the best out of all his
fellow mates.
The
best part was that though "he played hard yet he played fair". He
showed sportsman spirit in every way he could. He made me realized that cricket
is not always about winning or losing, it is about giving your best and
relishing each and every moment. His sportsmen spirit clearly evident
throughout the World Cup, particularly after their semifinal win over South
Africa when he invited Proteas counterpart AB de Villiers and his side to the
New Zealand dressing room after the match.
Memories

The
first one was during the World Cup 2015 when he took apart the english bowlers-
Broad, Anderson and Finn. He played it here and he played it there and made a
blazing half century in merely 20-25 balls.
The
second memory is of his last test match. It was a sad cricket moment has he was
retiring after the match but he made sure that the fans were completely
entertained. He made the fastest every Test century and it was an innings which
I see repeatedly on YouTube with awe and excitement each time.
Remember
Him
As he bade goodbye to cricket recently, this is what Baz will be
best remembered for – the captain who changed his team, more than a great
cricketer that fans adored. McCullum’s legacy will not be his performances, but
his impact.
