William Parker (New Zealand cricketer)

William Parker was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Otago between 1874 and 1884. He was primarily a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm bowler. Records of his career are incomplete, as was typical for cricket in New Zealand during that period. He generally batted in the middle order and his highest known score was 41, made against Canterbury in 1880. Beyond his appearances in first-class matches, little is known about Parker's life or cricketing career.
