In fact I think it was the English wicket keeper of the time who is credited
with saving him. Whoever it was ( apoligies for forgetting ) resusitated him
at the wicket. Chatfield is now one of NZ's most consistant bowlers (although
not necessarily as spectacular as some ).

From the Manchester Guardian Weekly, Week ending March 2:
Mike Gatting, the one English batsman to have found consistant and
aggressive scoring form during the Westt Indies arrived back in England
sporting two black eyes and a squashed, bruised nose that would have been
worthy of any championship boxing match.

[......]
Gatting, like the England captain, Gower, wears a helmet but not the
protective visor or bar across the face. Some players feel that the visor or
bar can affect vision. Gatting will now undergo nose surgery but expects to
return to the West Indies in time fo the last two or three Tests.

The article also said "Adding insult to injury the ball bounced down on
to his stumps to have him bowled for 10."
