Trevor Meale

Trevor Meale (11 November 1928 – 21 May 2010) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1958. Meale was born in Papatoetoe, Auckland and died in Orewa, Auckland.

Cricket career A left-handed opening batsman, Meale played several times for Wellington in Plunket Shield matches in the early 1950s, but his only centuries came in matches against touring teams. Against the West Indian cricket team in his debut season of 1951–52, his unbeaten 112 saved the match for Wellington, while his 130 against Fiji in 1953–54 was his last first-class innings for almost four years, and remained his highest score. He then moved to England to try to get into first-class cricket there, but was not successful.

Meale re-emerged in New Zealand in the trial games from which the 1958 New Zealand team to England was picked, scored 48, and was duly selected for the trip.
