Richard Coulstock (1823 - 15 December 1870) was an Australian cricketer. He played two first-class cricket matches for Victoria and one match for Otago.[1] [2]
Coulstock was born in England in 1823. In 1863 he was employed as a groundsman by the Dunedin Cricket Club.[3] He played for Otago in several matches in 1863–64, including New Zealand's first first-class match, against Canterbury.[4] He returned to Australia and had been planning to return to England but, in December 1870, while batting at the South Melbourne Cricket Club, where he was the groundsman, he suffered a fatal heart attack.[5] [6]
