Kiwi cricket icon Mark Greatbatch has a new role: President of New Zealand Cricket. 

His career in the sport included iconic knocks such as saving a draw against Australia at the WACA in 1989, batting for 11 hours, and pioneering the pinch hitting role at the top of the ODI batting order. 

Greatbatch joined Piney to discuss his new role and some of his iconic cricketing moments.  

“In this role you’ve got to listen and see what the pulse of the game is. There’s some really exciting and challenging at the same time things happening in world cricket at the moment.”
