An offspinning allrounder, Gavin Ewing was called up
for the 2003-04 Australia tour after impressing the selectors with
his domestic form. He had also been selected in the national squad
to play the touring Pakistanis in 2002-03 only nine months after
making his first-class debut, but didn't play. Ewing comes from a
keen cricketing family. His father represented Eastern Province and
was a big factor in developing Ewing's bowling. In 1999, he played
in the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka and finished in the top ten
wicket-takers. He also played club cricket in England for two
seasons, fulfilling all the credentials for a spot in the national
academy - or so you would have thought. After two weeks there in
2001, he was thrown out by Dave Houghton for being unfit and
overweight. Told to come back in better shape, he reapplied the
following year, but was rejected. However, he made his mark
elsewhere. In the Logan Cup, he scored 83 and 106 not out for
Matabeleland against Mashonaland in 2002, and has since been a
regular in the side. An aggressive middle-order batsman, he is more
comfortable off the back foot, is a strong puller and hooker, and
took 71 off Bangladesh in his second Test. As a bowler he does not
spin the ball much, relying more on accuracy. He was one of the
original 15 "rebels" who felkl out with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union
in mid-2004, but settled his differences with the Board and returned
to the national side when England toured in November
