| Mark Greatbatch, the sturdy left-handed bat, made his biggest mark as a
big-hitting opening bat in the 1992 World Cup, but in Test matches he
was often involved in rearguard actions. The greatest was the two-day
affair at Perth in 1989-90, when he staved off what looked a certain
Australian victory, scoring 146 not out and taking part in an epic stand
with Jeff Crowe. Greatbatch made his Test debut against England at
Auckland in 1987-88, scoring 107 not out in the second innings. He
followed that with 68 in the Wellington Test. On tour in India in
1988-89 he made 90 not out in Hyderabad, then made 76 against Pakistan
in Auckland later that season. He had a modest tour of England in 1990,
scoring 47 at Lord's and 45 at Edgbaston. That was followed by 65
against Sri Lanka at Auckland in 1990-91. On tour in Zimbabwe in 1992-93
he made 87 and 88 in Bulawayo, but his form declined after his World
Cup successes and, despite scoring 133 against Pakistan in Hamilton in
1992-93 he eventually fell foul of the wholesale changes when coach
Glenn Turner brought in Lee Germon as captain. Ironically, considering
the major role he played in New Zealand's run to the 1992 World Cup
semi-final, he could not make the team for their first two matches.
After scoring 68 against South Africa in Auckland he made 63 against
West Indies on the same ground and 73 against Dunedin, mangling the new
ball bowlers with devastating leg-side hitting. (Bob Harragan) |
