John Chaloner "Jack" Alabaster (born 11 July 1930 in Invercargill) played 21 Tests for New Zealand from 1955 to 1972. A leg-spin bowler, he was often partnered at the crease for his provincial side Otago by his younger brother Gren, who bowled off-spin.Despite having played no first-class cricket he was selected for the New Zealand side to tour Pakistan and India in 1955-56. He played in five of the eight Tests but took only two wickets. He did, however, take 2 for 30 and 5 for 99 when the New Zealanders defeated South Zone by an innings in Bangalore. Later that season he was a member of the team that won New Zealand's first Test victory, against the West Indies at Auckland; he took two wickets as the West Indies were dismissed for their lowest Test score of 77.
