robert chapman -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

robert james chapman -lrb- born 28 july 1972 in nottingham -rrb- is an english cricketer who played first-class cricket for nottinghamshire and worcestershire between 1992 and 1998 , and list a cricket for lincolnshire in the early 21st century .
he is the son of footballer bob chapman , who was often known as ` sammy ' .
chapman first played for nottinghamshire 's second xi as a teenager , but his first-class debut came in july 1992 in the county championship match against warwickshire .
he took one wicket in each innings -lrb- both future international players : roger twose and neil smith -rrb- , but notts declared in both innings and he did not get a chance to bat .
in fact , he did not play another first team game at all for nearly two years , when he played against cambridge university in april 1994 .
he took two wickets , but again was not called upon to bat .
in 1995 chapman played intermittently from mid-june onwards , but averaged over 70 with the ball for his 11 first-class wickets .
the following year he was selected only twice , though he did take 4 -- 109 against south africa a , and he left the county before the 1996 season was out , moving to worcestershire in august .
chapman played only second-team cricket for worcestershire at first , but accompanied his new county on tour to zimbabwe in the winter and made his first-class debut for them against a matabeleland invitation xi at bulawayo in late march .
he took only two wickets in the match , although his part -lrb- 7 not out from 25 balls -rrb- in a first-innings last-wicket partnership of 19 ultimately proved important as worcestershire won the game by just 18 runs .
1998 was a better season for chapman , and in the second half of the season he finally managed to make himself into a first-team regular .
he took 33 first-class wickets at 28.57 , and 15 list a wickets at under 20 apiece .
at the start of august he achieved career bests in both forms of the game , first taking 5 -- 30 against yorkshire in the axa league and then a matter of days later claiming 6 -- 105 in the championship against his old county of nottinghamshire .
sadly for chapman , both feats were in a losing cause , although the 43 not out he hit against durham -lrb- his highest score in county cricket -rrb- was more productive : he put on a century stand with richard illingworth -lrb- 84 -rrb- for the ninth wicket , then followed that up by taking 3 -- 26 to help his side to a 155-run win .
chapman was voted uncapped player of the season despite his improved statistics in 1998 , the following year was entirely frustrating for chapman , who found himself confined to the second team all season having been plagued with a persistent elbow injury .
in 2000 , following the arrival of glenn mcgrath he left worcestershire and moved counties again , this time to the minor county of lincolnshire under the captaincy of another former notts player , mark fell .
here he found rather more success , taking 4 -- 18 against berkshire in the first round of the 2002 c&g trophy -lrb- actually played , due to the vagaries of the fixture list , in august 2001 -rrb- , and making his first ever list a half-century when in the same competition in 2003 he hit what , even though lincolnshire lost the game , must have been a very satisfying unbeaten 53 against nottinghamshire .
