At the time of writing, Brendon McCullum is on 66 from 64, ably supported by Martin Guptill, who has just reached his 50. It's heartening to see McCullum, who is clearly talented, overcome the slump he's been in for what feels like forever. And he's not playing a lone hand, either - Martin 'Square-Jaw' Guptill continues to impress, making it easy to forget how flippin' young he is - the boy is 23, and has been playing international cricket for less than a year now. Also, he apparently has only 7 toes total, having lost three in an accident at the age of 13. With that little factoid plus his splendidly odd last name, he is in the running for what must be the most awesome nickname ever - 'Guppy 2-Toes.'
And now I want to see him and Daniel Vettori film a TV show. By day they play cricket with set jaw and steely intent - by night, they fight crime as the incredible duo of SuperDan and his amazing sidekick, Guppy Two-Toes. Tell me that doesn't have a ring to it.
