writer. A I I bowlers are fully aware of this. At a reception to Australian cricketers in England Clarrie Grimmett, I remember, was placed next to a very comely young lady. By way of a piece of light humour,
his opening remark to her was “I don’t suppose you are very interested in bowlers?” “Oh, but I am,” she returned. “Very interested in them just now.” “Ah!” said Grimmett, pleased, and blushing slightly. “You see,” she went on, my fiance has just started wearing one, and I just hate him in it.”
