born on 25 December 1891 at Caversham in New Zealand; migrated to Australia in 1914,

My name is Clarrie Grimmett and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I
was a brilliant leg spinner for the Australian test cricket team in the 1930s and 1940s,
and was the first bowler ever to take 200 test wickets.
