A short, slightly-built right-arm leg-break and googly bowler who usually opened the bowling, and a useful lower-order batsman, George Wilson played for the Sydenham club in the Canterbury Cricket Association.
[3] Wilson made his first-class debut on Christmas Day 1913 for Canterbury against Otago at Lancaster Park in Christchurch.
Canterbury were the holders of the Plunket Shield, and in the system as it operated at the time, had to defend the title against challengers.
[6] For the final Plunket Shield match of the season Canterbury travelled south to Dunedin to play Otago again.
[11] Wilson served as a private with the Canterbury Infantry Regiment in World War I.
