Congratulations to New Zealand opening batsman Martin Guptill. During the course of his innings of 114 off 102 deliveries (10 fours, 6 sixes) in the first ODI against Australia in Sydney earlier today, the right-handed-batsman went past 5000 career ODI runs at an impressive average of 42.95. Unfortunately for Guptill and his teammates his efforts were in vain as Australia ran out winners by 68 runs.
Auckland ace Guptill was recently dropped from the Black Caps Test squad (See previous post: Guptill Gone)…

… but he continues to churn out the runs at ODI level. Guptill only recently turned thirty so could yet have another few thousand ODI runs in him.
