An offspinning allrounder, Gavin Ewing was called up for the 2003-04 Australia tour after impressing the selectors with his domestic form. He had also been selected in the national squad to play the touring Pakistanis in 2002-03 only nine months after making his first-class debut, but didn't play. Ewing comes from a keen cricketing family. His father represented Eastern Province and was a big factor in developing Ewing's bowling. In 1999, he played in the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka and finished in the top ten wicket-takers. He also played club cricket in England for two seasons, fulfilling all the credentials for a spot in the national academy - or so you would have thought. After two weeks there in 2001, he was thrown out by Dave Houghton for being unfit and overweight. Told to come back in better shape, he reapplied the following year, but was rejected. However, he made his mark elsewhere. In the Logan Cup, he scored 83 and 106 not out for Matabeleland against Mashonaland in 2002, and has since been a regular in the side. An aggressive middle-order batsman, he is more comfortable off the back foot, is a strong puller and hooker, and took 71 off Bangladesh in his second Test. As a bowler he does not spin the ball much, relying more on accuracy. He was one of the original 15 "rebels" who felkl out with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union in mid-2004, but settled his differences with the Board and returned to the national side when England toured in November.
