Some Famous People called John Kinloch
John Kinloch (cricketer)
John Kinloch (1833 – 9 April 1897) was an Australian cricketer. He played three first-class matches for New South Wales between 1858/59 and 1861/62.
Kinloch was one of the earliest graduates of Sydney University, where he obtained a Master of Arts degree; he later served in the position of Esquire Bedell at the university. He was for many years one of the best-known coaches for university examinations in Sydney. Later he established a college, but he lost money in land speculation, and he died after financial difficulties and illness, leaving a widow. One of his notable pupils was Edmund Barton, who later became Australia's first Prime Minister.
Although he was a big man who moved slowly, Kinloch was a fast-medium under-arm bowler, renowned for his accuracy, who spun the ball from the leg. He took 4 for 14 and 4 for 56 in the match against Victoria in 1859. As he was near-sighted, he wore a monocle while playing. He was also a noted yachtsman.
