David Chardon made his first grade debut for Petersham Marrickville Cricket at the age of 16 during the 1967-68 season and went on to become one of the greats of Sydney Grade Cricket,
In a career spanning 1967 to 1990 David Chardon took 793 wickets at an average of only 19.67 and took 5 wickets in an innings on 37 occasions. Incredibly David only played one first class game for NSW.
David is 8th on the list of all-time wicket takers in NSW Premier Cricket. In fact, the bowlers that sit above David are all spinners and that makes him the leading fast bowler in wickets taken in the history of NSW Premier Cricket.
