Trevor Goddard Cricketer
Trevor Leslie Goddard is a former Test cricketer. An all-rounder, he played 41 Test matches for South Africa from 1955 to 1970. He captained the mostly young South African team on its five-month tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1963-64 season, levelling the series with Australia. A left-handed, classically correct opening batsman, he was also a successful left-arm medium-pace bowler with 123 wickets at Test level. Among Test bowlers with 75 wickets or more, he is the most economical of all, conceding an average of only 1.64 runs per over. He enjoyed particular success at first-class level, with over 11,000 runs at 40.60 together with 534 wickets and a competitive 21.65. Following his retirement in 1970 from North-Eastern Transvaal, he became an evangelical preacher and is author of the book Caught in the Deep.
