An opening bowler, Hounsell played several years of representative under-age cricket before progressing to Canterbury's senior team. For Canterbury Under-23s against Northern Districts Under-23s in February 1969, he took 7 for 19 off 12 overs.[3] His most successful first-class season was 1971-72, when he took 18 wickets at an average of 20.88,[4] and took his best figures of 5 for 50 for Canterbury against Wellington.[5]
Hounsell went into the insurance industry, where his success in sales and marketing, on top of his experience in cricket as a player, coach and selector, led Table Tennis New Zealand to select him in 1996 as the first chairman of its board.[6]
