AUSTRALIAN CRICKET STAR WAS BORN AT DUNEDIN
GRIMMETT, one of the crack players in the Australian cricket team at present touring Enzed, was born at Caversham, Dunedin, and this, together with the fact that his performances in England and Australia have been so brilliant in the last two or three years, will be the reason for his attracting much attention while on the present tour. Reports coming from across the Tasman tell us of some of his performances. He has now taken 129 wickets in Sheffield Shield matches, 120 of them for S.A. In ,his five Sheffield Shield seasons he has averaged 30.58 runs per wicket; he has also averaged 27.2 with the bat and has dismissed a number of opponents by smart work in the field. Grimmett's best full year with the ball was 1924-25. when he took 28 wickets at 24.74. This season has been his best with the bat, his figures being 42.85. He has never averaged below 20 for South Australia.
