Richard Ivor Maddocks (30 July 1928 – 10 September 1968) was an Australian first-class cricketer who represented Victoria in the Sheffield Shield. He also played Australian rules football with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Maddocks, who also went by the first name of Dick, debuted at first-class level with Victoria in 1948. From the 1948/49 to 1951/52 seasons, he was restricted to non Sheffield Shield fixtures against Tasmania, who were yet to enter the competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=First-class matches played by Richard Maddocks )〕 In the last of these matches, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in February 1952, Maddocks scored his maiden first-class century and was involved in a record 343 run partnership with debutant Jeffrey Hallebone for the fifth wicket.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Victorian vs Tasmania 1951/52 )〕 He finished on 271, the second highest score made by a Victorian against Tasmania after Bill Ponsford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Most Runs In An Innings For Victoria )〕 Finally in 1953/54, Maddocks got his chance to play Sheffield Shield and took part in all seven matches Victoria played, scoring 345 runs at 28.75.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Batting and Fielding in Sheffield Shield 1953/54 )〕 He also took his only first-class wicket, in a match against New South Wales at the MCG.
