CRICKET COMBINATION
BRADMAN AND GRIMMETT "After seeing Grimmett in his latest form one can. only despair at tho action of tho Australian selectors in breaking up a worldfamous bowling combination, of O'Reilly and Griinmott," said the former Australian test captain, Victor Richardson. "Bradman's individual performances wero certainly tho greatest factor which turned the gamo in favour of South Australia," said Richardson aftor tho intor-Stato match between Now South "Wales and South Australia, "but little behind him was Grimmott." Richardson states that Grimmott gave amplo proof that his career as a first-class player was by no means ended. "In spito of a slight injury to his leg, Grimmett spent long spells at tho bowling crease, stood up to a fiorco attack from very competent batsmen and controlled length and spin as of old."
