'''Chester Donald Watson''' (born 1 July 1938) is a former [[Jamaica]]n [[cricket]]er. Watson played seven [[Test cricket|Tests]] for the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] in the late 1950s and early 1960s.<br />
<br />
A fast bowler, Watson opened the bowling with [[Wes Hall]] and the two were accused by the [[England cricket team|English]] of intimidatory bowling during the England tour of the West Indies in 1959-60.<ref>Sobers, p. 3.</ref> English batsman [[Ken Barrington]] was hit on the elbow by a Watson bouncer during the series and others had near misses but West Indies champion allrounder [[Garry Sobers]] later claimed this was more due to the English batsmen being unaccustomed to West Indian pitches than intimidatory bowling.<ref>Sobers, p. 4.</ref><br />
<br />
Watson played as the professional for [[Church and Oswaldtwistle Cricket Club|Church]] in the [[Lancashire League (cricket)|Lancashire League]] in 1962. He took 117 wickets at an average of 7.58 to lead the League averages and take Church to the championship.<ref>{{cite web |title=League Championship 1962 |url=http://www.churchcc.co.uk/champ5.asp |website=Church CC |accessdate=2 November 2019}}</ref><br />
