I’m not a bad boy, just a keeper

He looks a bit like the tattooed bad boy your mother would hate and your father would ban you from seeing. And some times he is, some times when he bats properly and doesn’t fail at the top of the order. McCullum can also be a bit arrogant and he does a good job at looking unhappy, like most cricketers.

But he’s a pretty good keeper. He has vision that some keepers don’t. No matter how he good he is on any given day though, he’s damn hot. And he makes waking up at 00:00 worth it. As long as he is behind the stumps.And doesn’t speak.

He won’t be the keeper of my AP XI though, oh no. He doesn’t fit that role quite to my satisfaction. The problem is that the wicketkeeping role is usually reserved for the hot cricketer. You could probably have a whole XI made up out of hot keepers.

He’s not a very good captain, just ask Kolkata Knight Riders. But he does hold the highest score for a batsman in any T20 match. 158 not out. It’s not quite The Great BCL’s 400* but it’s pretty good shit for a hit and giggle gig.
