    To be honest I’d assumed he’d died years ago

    Vaguely remember him at the end of his firs clad career looking like a figure from an old movie town pre war reel.

    Gotta be NZs best leggie.

    @dogmeat

    I thought he'd died a long time ago too. He had a brother who was an off-spinner didn't he?

    Gren. He's still alive too at 90.

    I still remember watching the 1994 NBA finals and ESPN interrupted the live coverage to show the chase of the Ford Bronco.

    @Victor-Meldrew Grimmett moved to Sydney before WWI. NZ did not play its first test until 1930 by which time Grimmett was almost 40 and although he played test cricket until his late 40's and first class beyond that he was a dinky-di Ocker by that stage with a family.

    Tiger O'Reilly said he was prematurely dropped from the OZ test side and was still the best spinner the world had ever seen when he finally retired.

    Best spinner born in NZ without a doubt but have to believe given the limited first class opportunities in NZ that he became the player he was because of his move to Aussie

    Same here - was pretty surreal, I had no idea who he was at the time. Wasn’t even a decent bloody car chase, he was dribbling down the freeway the selfish prick, I just wanted to watch the ball!
