John Wright Biography

John Wright is one of the most popular and richest Cricket Player who was born on July 5, 1954 in New Zealand, New Zealand. Well-known cricketer who had a long career in New Zealand and became coach of the Indian national team.

He and Ross Taylor both represented New Zealand in international play.

He typically opened for New Zealand, and was noted as a tenacious, rather than spectacular, batsman. His team nickname was “shake”; reputedly a reflection on his packing technique. Together with Bruce Edgar of Wellington, he formed what was arguably New Zealand’s most successful and reliable opening partnership. During a match against Australia in 1980, he became the second player in history to score an eight off one ball in a Test, running four and collecting four overthrows. Toward the end of his career he used an unorthodox batting stance; whereas most batsman face the bowler with the bat in line with their legs, and perpendicular to the ground, Wright would stand with his bat raised in parallel to it.

In the 1988 Queen’s Birthday Honours, Wright was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to cricket.

He grew up around Darfield, New Zealand.
