The retiring star batsman Brendon McCullum on his farewell Test scored a 54 ball hundred and breaks the joint record of Misbah-ul-Haq and Viv Richards. At Hagley Oval, Christchurch, Australia won the toss and sent New Zealand to bat first. But, on a green top, the top order fell to the rejuvenated Aussie bowling.

But, McCullum coming at No. 5 murdered bowlers as he went on to scored 79 ball 145. Cricket starts around the world ushered praise on the Black Caps star.

Here is how everybody reacted to the tremor in the Southern hemisphere.

Brendon McCullum admits he’s almost a little bit embarrased to eclipse @vivrichards56 mark for fastest test century. Says he was his idol.
