Biography

Chattergoon is a left-handed opening batsman who has registered four centuries in first class cricket, where he plays for Guyana. After scoring 9 in his debut match, Chattergoon made an unbeaten 54 in his second game, helping the West Indies to a ten-wicket victory - his batting partner, Chris Gayle, made 95 not out in the opening stand of 156. However, Chattergoon was left out of the squad for the final two ODIs [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wivzim/content/story/246908.html Baugh included in squad for last two ODIs] , from Cricinfo, published 12 May 2006] , and did not return to the squad until the fourth ODI against India later that summer [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/248308.html?CMP=OTC-RSS West Indies make two changes] , from Cricinfo, published 24 May 2006] . Chattergoon did not play the fourth ODI, got a golden duck in the fifth [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/wivind/engine/match/239919.html 5th ODI: West Indies v India at Port of Spain, May 28, 2006] , from Cricinfo, retrieved 30 May 2006] , and did not make the squad for the Test series [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/248717.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Mohammed included in Test squad] , from Cricinfo, published 28 May 2006] .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. He clocked up 134 runs in that series, proving his skills at the highest level and has answered the WICB selectors call for an opening partner for Chris Gayle.

After making his test debut 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 haved craved for a number of years now. In his first test match he demonstarted the technical ability compariable 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 incomparible to those previous players in the similar position by taking a spectacular catch at third slip in the first innings of his debut test match.

Other achievements in domestic cricket includes the 119 he hit in the final of the 2005–06 KFC Cup, the regional one-day tournament of the West Indies, out of a total 247 for 7 to help Guyana beat Barbados by three wickets and win the title [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/222275.html Chattergoon leads Guyana to title triumph] , from the Trinidad and Tobago Express, published by Cricinfo on 17 October 2005] .
