Our Inductees

Martin Crowe

Martin Crowe
New Zealand has produced some fine batsmen, among them Bert Sutcliffe, Martin Donnelly and Stewie Dempster, but knowledgeable judges rate Martin Crowe the best of them all.

Stewie Dempster

To look for the quality of Stewie Dempster as a test batsman, it's only necessary to look at the alltime best averages.

Martin Donnelly

Martin Donnelly
He was said to have everything as a test batsman — style and grace, confidence and determination, success and modesty.

Richard Hadlee

Richard Hadlee
It was no coincidence that when Sir Richard Hadlee was making his mark on the cricket fields of the world, so was New Zealand; that the national team’s days in the sun were in large part because of his efforts.

Walter Hadlee

Walter Hadlee’s name is linked inextricably to New Zealand cricket for many reasons.

Tom Lowry

Tom Lowry
Lowry was one of the dominant figures of New Zealand cricket in its formative test years.

Dick Motz

Daniel Reese

Regarded as the father of cricket in New Zealand, he was the first truly international cricketer to be produced by New Zealand.

John Reid

A batsman, a bowler and sometimes a wicketkeeper, Reid could lay claim with Sir Richard Hadlee to being New Zealand cricket’s greatest allrounder.

Ian Smith

Ian Smith
Ian Smith, known to his teammates as “Stockley” after one of his given names, was one of the key contributors in a New Zealand cricket golden era in the 1980s.

Bert Sutcliffe

Bert Sutcliffe
Bert Sutcliffe was regarded, with the Australian Neil Harvey, as the best left-handed batsman of his generation.

Eric Tindill

Glenn Turner

Glenn Turner
In the West Indies in 1972, Glenn Turner was such a prolific scorer (two successive innings of 259 in Georgetown), the crowds dubbed him “Mistah Runs”.

Sporting Spotlight
