Richard Torrance (14 August 1884 – 28 September 1972) was a New Zealand cricket umpire and player. He stood in one Test match, New Zealand vs. England, in 1933. He played 42 first-class matches for Otago between 1905 and 1928.[1]
An accurate left-arm opening bowler, Torrance's best first-class match figures were 42–11–93–14 (7 for 51 and 7 for 42) against Hawke's Bay in the 1908-09 season,[3] when he was the most successful bowler in New Zealand first-class cricket with 28 wickets at an average of 11.57.[4] His best first-class innings figures were 7 for 21 against Southland in 1919-20, when he bowled unchanged through both innings, finishing with match figures of 23.3–8–41–11.[5] He sometimes made useful runs in the lower order, as when in 1925-26 he scored 28 against Canterbury, adding 105 for the last wicket with Reginald Cherry, who was thus able to make his only first-class century.[6][7] In club cricket, which he played in Dunedin until 1931, he played as an all-rounder.[6]
Torrance umpired eight first-class matches in New Zealand between 1932 and 1938, including the First Test in 1932-33.[8]
