Raymond George Flockton (14 March 1930 – 22 November 2011) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for New South Wales from 1951 to 1963.
Flockton was an all-rounder.[1] He played 35 first class cricket matches between 1951 and 1963, with a highest score of 264 not out and best bowling figures of 4 wickets for 33 runs.
He was inadvertently caught up in a controversial incident when Sid Barnes made way in the side for Flockton for a match at the Adelaide Oval. Barnes then acted as twelfth man, and appeared in a suit (rather than 'whites'), carrying unnecessary items such as cigars, iced towels, a mirror and comb, a radio and a clothes brush.
During his playing career, Flockton worked as a Sydney traffic policeman.[2] Later he coached in Canberra before working as an insurance salesman.[3]
Flockton died in November 2011 at his home in Port Macquarie after a long battle with cancer.[4]
