He made 29 not out in his only innings, and took two wickets, including that of future South Africa Test player Clive van Ryneveld.
[3] That 1949 season saw Chesterton play frequently for the Oxford side, and his final aggregate of 46 wickets was the highest he managed in any summer, as was his total of four five-wicket innings hauls.
[8] In 1951 Chesterton played only once, but between 1952 and 1957 he made about half a dozen appearances a year for Worcestershire, generally picking up 20 or 30 wickets each season, as well as continuing to take the trip to Ireland with MCC in 1952, 1954 and 1956.
[9] Chesterton ended his county cricket career after 1957, but he did have one final game for Free Foresters against Oxford in 1961,[10] and continued to accompany MCC to Ireland well into the 1960s.
His final first-class game came in that fixture in September 1966, but his farewell to cricket was not a success despite MCC's victory: Chesterton made 0 in both innings and did not take a wicket in 20 overs of bowling.
