Colin George Richardson (6 June 1920 – 22 December 1993) was an Australian cricketer. He played eight first-class matches for Tasmania between the 1946–47 season and 1950–51.[1]
Born at Hobart in 1920, Richardson was one of five brothers who played first-class cricket for the state side; his father and uncle also played first-class matches for Tasmania.[2] A left-arm fast bowler who played club cricket for the North Hobart and New Town clubs,[3] he made his first-class debut in a December 1946 match against Victoria, taking a five-wicket haul in Victoria's second innings, despite only bowling three overs.[4]
Later the same season he played against the touring touring English team, and the following season played twice against the touring Indians. In his eight first-class matches he took a total of 25 wickets, including a second five-wicket haul taken against Victoria in 1948–49.[4]
Richardson died at Hobart in 1993. He was aged 73.[1]
