A left-arm medium-pace bowler, McLachlan took 22 wickets in seven days in two first-class matches on Canterbury's northern tour in January 1915. On 6 and 7 January, against Hawke's Bay in Hastings, he took 7 for 57 and 5 for 17 in Canterbury's innings victory.[2] On 9, 11 and 12 January he took 4 for 59 and 6 for 43 against Wellington at the Basin Reserve, Wellington; Canterbury won by 92 runs.[3]
