Ewen Chatfield gets a wicket

Right arm medium-fast bowler Ewen Chatfield debuted in 1975, but it was not till the start of the 1976-77 season that he decisively established himself in the New Zealand team.

Chatfield was a disciplined seam and swing bowler, who bowled at a fair pace and formed an excellent combination with New Zealand's greatest bowler Sir Richard Hadlee (more on him later). Chatfield played till 1989 and appeared in 43 Test matches, during the course of which he claimed 123 wickets at an average of 32.17.

He was a regular in the New Zealand one-day team as well and played in 114 games. He picked up 140 wickets in those games, at an average of 25.84 and an excellent economy rate of 3.57.
