Biography
John Joseph Fowler (1 December 1850 – 30 November 1910) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1873 to 1882.
Fowler was a middle-order batsman and excellent fieldsman. His highest score in first-class cricket was 65, the highest score on either side, when Canterbury beat Otago in 1879–80. Born in Nelson, he was the only New Zealand-born member of Canterbury's fifteen-man team that beat the touring Australians in 1877–78.
He died in hospital in Nelson after a long illness, one day before his 60th birthday. He was survived by his daughters.
