Wilfred John Raymond Haskell (born 12 December 1936) is a former cricketer and schoolteacher in New Zealand. He is now a sports historian.

Life and career[edit]

Wilf Haskell was born in Karachi, where his father was a missionary and schoolteacher. In the 1940s the family moved to Nelson, where Wilf attended Nelson College.[1]

An accurate medium-fast bowler, Haskell made his first-class cricket debut for Wellington in 1955–56, but did not establish himself in the team until 1967–68. In the first match of the 1967–68 season, against Otago, he took 6 for 6 off 16 overs to dismiss Otago for 85 in the second innings and give Wellington victory by 149 runs.[2]

He became a schoolteacher, teaching at a number of schools in New Zealand, and finally, from 1980 to 1998, at Wellington College. Since he retired from teaching he has written sports history.[1]
