Greg Blewett

In 2018 he joined the Seven Network as a commentator for Test Cricket and Big Bash League and Triple M Adelaide as a co-host of the Dead Set Legends show.

Blewett was named fielding consultant of Australia for the one-day tri-series in Zimbabwe and for their matches against Pakistan in the UAE in 2014. He completed a level three coaching accreditation in 2014 and worked with Australia A and the National Performance Squad at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Brisbane.

Blewett's first marriage was to Adelaide radio personality , Jodie Blewett, and they had a daughter. He remarried with his second wife Katheryn Raptopoulos in 2014 and they have a son.

In December 2013, Blewett became a member of the Fairfax Radio Network (FRN) commentary team that broadcast selected Test matches, One Day Internationals, the Big Bash League (BBL) and T20 International matches on network stations including 3AW Melbourne, 2UE Sydney, 4BC Brisbane, 6PR Perth and on digital radio.

Waugh, who captained Australia from 1999–2004, said that Blewett had "a technical batting problem in his defence, when facing deliveries and he often left a gap between bat and pad." Test and One Day International averages of 34 and 20 respectively also reflect his inability to, according to Waugh, "align...talent with results". Waugh attributed this to a "lack of discipline and...self-belief."

Despite his qualities as a batsman, he was known to struggle against spin bowling. He has been dismissed (out) in the past by several spin bowlers, including the former Pakistan and Indian spinners, Mushtaq Ahmed and Anil Kumble. After achieving a successful first year in the international cricket, he encountered Mushtaq Ahmed when Pakistan visited Australia in the 1995–96 season. He was unable to pick which way Mushtaq's deliveries were turning and was continuously dismissed in the tournament by being declared Leg before wicket or being bowled, either playing down the wrong line or not offering shot to a googly that turned into his stumps. He was subsequently replaced by Ricky Ponting, but in 1996 he regained his batting position after Ponting himself had fallen upon hard times. Blewett then performed well with the bat, until the 1998 tour to India, where he struggled against Kumble and he was dropped in favour of Justin Langer. However, upon the retirement of captain Mark Taylor in 1999, Blewett was selected to become an opening batsman, until he was dropped from the Australian team in favour of Matthew Hayden in early 2000 after a period of poor performances, which ended his international career. He retired from professional cricket in 2006 when he played his last match in First-class cricket and One Day Domestic matches against Queensland and Tasmania.
