Top 10 New Zealand bowlers of all time

New Zealand v Australia - 3rd ODI
New Zealand have a rich history of producing quality bowlers

#8 Ewen Chatfield

Second Test Match: England v New Zealand
Chatfield thrived on a consistent line and length

In an era where Richard Hadlee flourished, Ewen John Chatfield played a perfect foil to the legendary fast bowler. A medium pace bowler who stuck to a stump to stump line and movement off the wicket, Chatfield exerted immense pressure that Hadlee exploited from the other end.

He played 43 Tests and 114 ODIs, grabbing 123 and 140 wickets respectively. He was a key member of the New Zealand side that won their first Test series in England and Australia, both home and away. Chatfield is also known for a head injury he suffered in a Test against England in 1974.
