Mark Greatbatch (born in Auckland on December 11, 1963) was a New Zealand cricketer. He scored more than 2,000 runs in his 41 Tests for New Zealand, and in September 2005 he became director of coaching at Warwickshire County Cricket Club in England.
- 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.
