Watch: Brendon McCullum effect an amazing run-out
Watch: Brendon McCullum effect an amazing run-out: Brendon McCullum the New Zealand skipper is known for his acrobatics, first he displayed those behind the wickets with gloves in hand and now that he has opted to play as a more specialist batsman and fielding inside the ring he continues to awe the crowd with his ground fielding and with some stunning catches that he pulls off. This time around during the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka match, at Nelson during the 4th ODI of the seven match New Zealand vs Sri Lanka series fielding at mid-off McCullum effected this amazing run out
to give his team the wicket of Nuwan Kulasekara in the final over of the first innings.
The run-out made sure the target that Sri Lanka batting first set New Zealand was in range at 276 in the 50 overs game. The visitors got there with fine innings from the two best players they have in the line-up Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara who both scored half-centuries before getting dismissed at 94 and 76 respectively. As the pace spearhead for the home team Tim Southee picked up 3 and both Adam Milne and Mitchell McClenaghan dismissed two batsmen each.
New Zealand powered a crafty century from their new Mr. Consistent Kane Williamson who scored 103 from 107 deliveries and contributions from others got to the target quite convincingly in the end with 11 balls to spare. But for every spectator watching the game along with the batting of Jayawardene, Williamson this excellent run out from Baz would occupy their memory for some time and every time that this match is discussed, such is his impact even while fielding that not even for a second one can count Brendon McCullum out of the game.
