Career
Chattergoon is a left-handed opening batsman who has registered four centuries in first class cricket, where he plays for Guyana. However Chattergoon was left out of the squad for the final two ODIs, and did not return to the squad until the fourth ODI against India later that summer. Chattergoon did not play the fourth ODI, got a golden duck in the fifth, and did not make the squad for the Test series.
Following an impressive domestic season for Guyana in 2007, Chattergoon was recalled to the West Indies ODI squad against South Africa in the 2008 series, where he played in the second, third and fourth ODIs.
He impressed with fluent knocks of 34, 52 and 48 in the three innings whilst opening the batting. After making his test début for the West Indies against a formidable Sri Lankan team at the Queens Park Oval in Trinidad, he made a statement by starting his test career with an impressive but patient and technically correct innings of 46.
This particular innings showed great potential for the long sought after opening batsman the West Indies have craved for a number of years now. In his first Test match he demonstrated the technical ability comparable to that of Greenidge and Haynes.
His classy left-handed style of batting combined with his solid defensive technique accounts for a great opening batsman in the making.
As well as his batting, Chattergoon has showed extraordinary ability in his slip fielding, somewhat incomparable to those previous players in the similar position by taking a spectacular catch at third slip in the first innings of his début Test match.
