Career
He was a right-handed batsman and leg break/googly bowler. He made his debut in important cricket for British Guiana in the 1905-1906 Inter-Colonial Tournament in Trinidad. He scored 6 and 3 and took no wickets.
The team for the forthcoming tour of England was decided after this tournament and surprisingly Parker was one of those chosen.
He was a complete disappointment on the 1906 tour to England averaging just 6 with the bat and taking just 4 wickets. Before the tour he was described as "a slow bowler of great merit.
Took part in the late Intercolonial cricket matches played at Trinidad, and, although not successful in getting wickets, greatly impressed the selectors. Hence his inclusion in the team" and "a slow bowler of the Armstrong type, with a field placed on the on-side.
A fair defensive batsman and excellent slip".
He played in the next two Inter-Colonial Tournaments in 1907-1908 and 1907-1908 again with a complete lack of success and this marked the end of his career in important matches.
