George Paramor (19 June 1846 – 2 August 1925) was an English cricketer. He moved to New Zealand in 1873 and played eight first-class matches for Otago between 1873 and 1881. [1]
Paramor was employed by the Dunedin Cricket Club as a professional in 1873, supervising the club's ground and practice sessions, and the coaching of younger players. [2] He supplemented his cricket earnings by working in an ironmongery warehouse, whose owner allowed him time off for cricket. [3]
The New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese wrote of Paramor: "He was a tall upstanding player, whose long reddish beard was usually tucked inside his shirt. He was a popular player indeed." [4] His highest score was 62, out of Otago's first innings total of 148, against Canterbury in 1874-75. [5] It was Otago's highest score to that date. [6] He was known for his fighting qualities, which he showed by effectively combatting an early form of bodyline bowling used by the English bowler Tom Emmett in 1877. [3] His best bowling figures were 6 for 45 against Canterbury in 1878-79. [7]
Paramor moved to New South Wales in 1881, where he worked as an ironmonger's assistant. He lived in Liverpool, south-west of Sydney, where he died in August 1925. [8]
