It looks like New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham and former Black Caps captain, Brendon McCullum are having a fun time taking a light dig at each other on social media. It all started when a fan posted a tweet on Twitter sharing how Neesham looks similar to Hollywood superstar, Chris Hemsworth.

The fan further went on to say that if ever a movie is made on New Zealand’s 2019 Cricket World Cup journey, the Avenger star can easily play the 28-year-old’s character. The Kiwis missed out on their maiden World Cup win to Englandon the basis of boundaries hit, as the final scores after the main innings and Super Over was at par.
Neesham, who is also known for his witty and hilarious social media posts, retweeted the above, adding his own thoughts to it.
Yep, hell of a way to put someone in a good mood 👍 https://t.co/aCpEm7dm4T

McCullum seemed to have taken notice of this and didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to pull Neesham’s legs. He replied to the above tweet by stating that his resemblance to an alpaca was more accurate.
Prefer this personally 🤷🏼♂️ https://t.co/o5QeEHfjPh pic.twitter.com/tFkxwItthp

Fans did have a laugh at this conjecture, but Neesham is not one to hold back. And as expected, he didn’t disappoint with his reply. He tweeted a picture of the cricketer-turned-coach, where he can be seen using his phone and added an amusing caption to it.
Good to see grandpa finally figured out how to upload a photo 😂 https://t.co/Sxmb4WO3dA pic.twitter.com/xJOhWaAoOK

McCullum surely had a laugh reading that, and so did we!
