Craig Findlay Explained

Craig Owen Findlay (born 17 August 1971 in Waipukurau, Hawke's Bay) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played for the Central Districts Stags in the 1990s[1] and the CEO of Hawke's Bay Cricket Association.[2] He also played for Hawke's Bay in the Hawke Cup.

Findlay now runs the Hawke's Bay branch of a company providing sporting programmes for schools.[3]

Controversy

Findlay was widely criticised in January 2014 for scoring 307 runs off 115 balls after being dropped on 40, against a school cricket team of 15- and 16-year-olds competing in a senior men's division. A member of the public said, "That CEO should be nurturing these players not trying to show off and have his score on back page."[4]
