Maddock captained Otago in their match against Southland in January 1864, taking 5 for 16 and 7 for 23 in an innings victory. A few days later he was a member of the Otago team that defeated Canterbury in the first first-class match in New Zealand.

When the touring English team played Otago in February 1864, Maddock was the only Otago batsman to reach double figures in the first innings.
