English cricketer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Coles (christened 19 October 1798 – 22 January 1865) was an English amateur cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1819 to 1820 for Cambridge University Cricket Club.
Coles made only three known appearances in first-class matches[1] but was a very successful bowler using a right-handed underarm style. In 1820, his tally of 17 was the highest by any first-class bowler that season.[2]
Educated at Eton and Peterhouse, Cambridge, George Coles later became ordained as a Church of England clergyman. He was Vicar of St James, Croydon from 1829 to 1865.[3]
