James Gerald Harle Moore (18 September 1877 - 6 April 1933) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played two first-class matches for Otago during the 1905–06 season.[1] [2]
Moore was born at Kaihiku in Otago in 1877[3] and later lived in the Caversham area of Dunedin. He served as a private in the Boer War in the 9th (Otago) Company, part of the 4th New Zealand Contingent.[4] [5] [6] He later wrote a book, With the Fourth New Zealand Rough Riders, about his service in South Africa.[3] [7]
Moore played in both of Otago's first-class matches during the 1905–06 season, making a pair his debut for the representative side against Canterbury at Christchurch in a match starting on Christmas Day 1905. He fared little better against Auckland in early January, scoring one run in the first innings and recording another duck in the second.[2]
Professionally Moore worked as a woolclasser at Mosgiel Woollen Mill and was for a time the representative of the New Zealand government in Argentina.[8] [9] [10] He died at the Sydney suburb of St Peters in 1933 at the age of 55.[1]
