A bit of research needed. It's difficult to give a clue, but if you are still struggling, look here:

I could add that I've never heard of him, and I follow cricket!

Thank you so much. I've now found him in my 1981 'Cricketers' Who's Who' so can put a face to him. I don't suppose that his hair is as long these days! I also now understand the Chief Master part of the clue.

parsing CAUGHT around L for 50, with ON for legside.

What sort of crossword clues such an obscure cricketer?
