Brendon McCullum gives T20 batting masterclass

Do you wish you could bat like Brendon McCullum?

Of course you do! Well the big-hitting former Black Caps captain joined Sky Sports coverage of the NatWest T20 Blast game between Birmingham Bears and Lancashire Lightning, and gave his T20 batting tips.

Tips such as, taking a wide base in his crease, staying balanced, relying on your instincts, and always looking to put pressure back on the bowler.

McCullum says big overs of 20 runs plus are key in T20 and talks about his favourite hitting zones which he tries to target in order to achieve that, including the pull shot.

The New Zealander talks about how he perfects the pull shot and looks to pick up the bowler's length early.
