Report on Brendon Mccullum

Kia Ora Bloggers, this blog will be about my report on Brendon Mccullum. Here is my full report.

Brendon Mccullum

Early Life.

On the 27th of September 1981 in Dunedin, Otago, Brendon Mccullum was born to a sporting family, the Mccullum’s. Brendon's love for sport didn’t start with cricket as he played in the 1st XV for King’s High School. Brendon was becoming increasingly competent with his skills that Dan Carter said he had to spend a lot of time on the bench because of Brendon. Stuart, Brendons Father played for the otago cricket team and Nathan, his brother played for NZ with the ODI and T20 Teams.

Career.

Brendon started playing rugby before cricket and then started to become increasingly good at these sports as he played for otago for rugby. He joined the New Zealand cricket team on 17th January 2002. Brendon roles were wicket keeping and batting, he also was a Right arm medium or an Right arm off break bowler. Some career highlights for Brendon are that he is one of the only batsmen to play 100 consecutive tests and on the 18th of February 2014 he scored 300 runs in a test against india. After retiring from international cricket Brendon went on to play for teams like Brisbane heat, Otago, Warwickshire and Middlesex cricket teams.

Life Aside from Sport.

Brendon was married in 2003 to Ellissa Mccullum. Brendon has 2 children that are Riley and Maya Mccullum. Some nicknames Brendon has been given are BBM, Baz and B Mac. Brendon has multiple tattoos like on his arm, chest and ring finger. The tattoo on his arm has roman numerals CXXVI, XLII and CCXXIV which are his ODI and Test Number and a former cricketer. The tattoo on his chest is a silver fern and the one on his ring finger is a tattoo of his ring because he can’t wear it while playing. Brendon’s net worth is $6 Million. Now Brendon is an Ambassador for the Maia Health Foundation. Brendon said on the Maia website “I know that if it was my son or daughter in hospital, I’d want to know I’d done all I could to make that time as comfortable as it could be. Christchurch Hospital takes great care of kids from around the South Island. Māia is recognising that through its enhancement project for the Children’s Wards, one of the first projects they are undertaking – and they are asking for your help”.

Conclusion.

In conclusion I think Brendon Mccullum is a great New Zealander because of him helping with healthcare, and sticking to his goals. I personally look up to him because of his approach to problems in the community and he is a leader to follow, I also look up to him because of his look at his sport where he can always play a positive game and helping others.
