Mark Greatbatch (born on December 11, 1963 in Auckland) was a New Zealand cricketer. He scored more than 2,000 runs in his 41 Tests for New Zealand.
Greatbatch scored 146 not out off 485 balls against Australia, November 1989. The match was drawn. Greatbatch was at the crease for 14 hours (3 days) to save New Zealand from defeat. He received a standing ovation at the end of the game. Greatbatch’s masterful defensive innings is still considered by many pundits to be one of the greatest cricket centuries ever, under the circumstances.
Greatbatch was a solid fieldsman and took some spectacular diving catches throughout his career.
In September 2005 he became director of coaching at Warwickshire County Cricket Club in England [1] after relegation from both the County Championship and Pro40 League in 2007 he was replaced by Ashley Giles[2].
