Kiwi cricket legend Martin Crowe died on March 3 after a battle with cancer.
His former teammate Dion Nash joined Paul Henry to discuss the athlete’s career and life.
Mr Nash says one of the most revolutionary things his former captain was how he would visualise the game before he played it.
“He liked to pull the game apart. He focused on the mental part of the game.”
Mr Nash says when he joined the Black Caps Mr Crowe became a great leader to him and other young players.
He gave a lot of time to the young guys coming into the team. We admired him for that. He had the ability to lift the team he was in. He made you feel world-class.”
Martin Crowe’s childhood friend and former teammate Martin Snedden joined Paul Henry to discuss the late cricket legends legacy.
He says it was obvious from when he was a young boy that his friend “Marty” was destined to be one of the greats.
“He was miles ahead of his time in his thinking. For us mortals it was tough to keep up with his thinking.”
Mr Crowe’s funeral will be held on March 11 at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Auckland from 11am to 1pm.
It will be open to the public.
