Ian Ching was a wicket-keeper and lower-order batsman. In Hawke Cup cricket he batted higher in the order. In 1958–59, when Nelson gained and held the Hawke Cup, he was the leading scorer in the competition with 286 runs at an average of 47.66.[1] In 1950–51, in his first two first-class matches, he played as a batsman, taking part in Central Districts' first two first-class victories, though his contributions with the bat were modest, and he was discarded for the last match of the Plunket Shield season.[2]
