Glen Chapple (born January 23, 1974 in Skipton, North Yorkshire) is an English cricketer. He is an all-rounder, and has represented the national team in one One Day International, as well as performing well for Lancashire. He bowls right-arm fast-medium, and is a right-handed batsman.

Chapple's most notable achievements include winning the Gold Award for his six for 18 in the 1996 Natwest Trophy Final against Essex at Lord's. He shares with Mark Pettini the record for fastest ever first-class century; he scored it against Glamorgan at Old Trafford in 1993 from just 27 balls and 21 minutes, although this was against the bowling of Matthew Maynard and Tony Cottey in an attempt to set up a declaration.[1][2]

After Chapple helped Lancashire win the County Championship Division Two title in 2005, taking 47 wickets at an average of 21.48, he made an impressive start to the 2006 season which saw him take 23 wickets with an average of 21.56 with the ball and 43 with the bat in the opening six Championship matches. Due to this great form, Chapple made a belated International debut on 13 June 2006 against Ireland at Belfast. This was three years after a previous call-up against South Africa in the 3rd Test at Trent Bridge, where he was the odd man out in a squad of 12.

Unfortunately, after four wicketless overs against Ireland, Chapple had to pull out of the squad to face Sri Lanka with an abdominal injury, and has not played for England since.

Chapple has also represntented England in the Hong Kong Sixes.[3] He played in the England team that won the tournament in 2003 and again in 2004.[4][5] In 2006, Chapple played in the Sixes team alongside two other Lancashire players, captain Dominic Cork and batsman Mal Loye.[6]

[edit] Honours

Chapple was named Lancashire CCC Player of the Year for the 2002 Season.[7]

He was awarded a Benefit by Lancashire in 2004.[8]

2x Hong Kong Sixes Winner in 2003 and 2004 with an England XI.[4]

Only the tenth player to achieve the 5,000 Runs and 500 Wicket First-class double for Lancashire.[9]
