DOB: 30/09/1986
Playing Role: Top-order Batsman
Batting Style: Right-hand bat
Bowling Style: Right-arm offbreak
Martin Guptill arrived on the international scene with a bang
when the tall and talented top-order batsman made a century on one
day international debut against the West Indies at Auckland's Eden
Park. His unbeaten 122 remains the second highest score by a
debutant in the history of ODI's (only trailing the great Desmond
Haynes who stroked 148 against Australia). Since then Guptill has
established himself as the Black Caps first drop/opener in the
limited over format and his fine form in 2008/09 season was
recognised when he was named in the ICC ODI world XI. His Test
performances have so far failed to translate into any considerable
contributions but, thanks to his one day form, he is likely to be
persevered with. Guptill is also one of the Black Caps most
electric fieldsmen, which is even more extraordinary considering he
has only two toes on one of his feet as the result of a forklift
accident a few years ago.
