#3 Lee Germon
Trending
It was in the middle of 1994-95 that a change was brewing in New Zealand cricket. Glenn Turner was appointed coach and as he began scouting for a new skipper, he eyes fell on Lee Germon. Despite not having played Test match cricket in the past, Germon had led Canterbury in first-class cricket. Adam Parore was converted into a specialist batsman and a place was created for Germon to come in and take charge of the side – something that’s seldom seen in international cricket.
The Kiwi most famously led his country to the quarter-finals in the 1996 ICC Cricket World Cup in India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. He displayed stellar form through the event and teamed up with Chris Harris in the quarter-finals against Australia. While the former hammered a memorable 130, Germon stroked a vital 89 coming in at No.3.
In the 36 ODIs that Lee Germon led, his side won 15 and tied 2 matches to hand him a win record of 44%.
