One of the characters of cricket, and affectionately known as “Fat Cat”, the burly Greg Ritchie developed into a first class batsman who possessed wonderful timing when in full, glorious flow.
Ritchie headed both test and tour averages in his first international tour, the only Australian to reach three figures in the series.
Ritchie played 30 Tests, scored 1690 runs at 35 including three centuries and seven half centuries.
Greg played for Queensland for 10 seasons. I the year 2000 he was named as one of the seven greatest Sheffield Shield run scorers in Queensland’s history for amassing over 6000 runs for his state.
Recently, Greg resigned his position as one of the team members of Triple M’s Home Grown Breakfast Show on Brisbane radio. His unique sense of humor was heard every week day for the past three years.
His character Mahatma Cote, who has appeared on Channel 9’s Footy Show, can still be heard on Adelaide Radio 5AA.
Greg Ritchie is an excellent after dinner speaker and the complete MC for all occasions. He is a motivator capable of inspiriting corporate clients and he is a most humorous raconteur.
Greg is the Managing Director of Gulliver’s Sports Travel, one of his partners being Alan Border. Gulliver’s Sports Travel was established in 1997 and marketed sporting tours specifically cricket and golf, to all parts of the globe. The business has grown dramatically since these days and now offers a wide range of services including retail, corporate travel and group and events management.
Greg is proud to be an ambassador for a number of organizations including Carlton & United Breweries, Callaway Golf, Wesley Corporate Health and Brook water Golf Club.
