Mark Greatbatch — The Original Pinch-Hitter, 1992 World Cup

New Zealand

1992-02-25

Replacing the injured John Wright at the 1992 World Cup, Mark Greatbatch was instructed by captain Martin Crowe to attack the new ball and use the fielding restrictions. The strategy worked: Greatbatch made 313 at a strike rate of 88, hit a tournament-leading 14 sixes, and created the template for the 'pinch hitter' role.
