Gregory John Mail (born 29 April 1978, Penrith, New South Wales) is a batsman for the New South Wales Blues. A tall opening batsman with a solid technique, he debuted for New South Wales in 1999-2000. His most successful season was 2003-04, after which he has struggled to hold a place in the XI.
In 1998 Mail was awarded a cricketing scholarship by New South Wales, which enabled him to spend the English summer playing for Northern[1] in the Liverpool Competition. In 2007 Mail played for Colne in the Lancashire League, finishing the season as the League's highest scorer with 1,198 runs at 79.86.[2]
Greg Mail attended James Ruse Agricultural High School. He is now known as the Run Machine due to his heavy scoring in the Sydney Grade competition, but the Mailman is the dull traditional nom de plume. He recently completed the Oxfam Trailwalk, giving support back to the comminuty.
