    Kia ora Benjamin, this is Kieryn from the Summer Learning Journey.
    Well done for writing such a detailed and informative post about New Zealand cricket stars Martin Guptil and Brendon McMullum.
    It is so amazing how Brendon had his test debut in Africa. Imagine having to play one of the most important games of your career in another country! That must have been a pretty scary, yet exciting experience!
    Do you play cricket?
    Are you a big cricket fan?
    My grandad is a major cricket fan, and he even played for New Zealand. When I was younger, I used to stay the night at his house and we would stay up late watching cricket. I never really understood what was going on, but my grandad enjoyed watching it and I enjoyed spending the time with him.
    At the bottom of your post, you have a lot of different numbers about runs and seconds. What does this mean?
    It would be great if you could reply to this comment and let me know!
