Career
Nicknamed Sparkle, he was both a cricketer and rugby player. He toured New Zealand with the Springboks in 1937 and although he participated in some tour games he did not play a Test. He bowled Sir Donald Bradman twice in one match in Chicago in 1932 as a fast bowler.
When Howard Watt met him again in 1937, Bradman remembered him as one of the few people to dismiss him so cheaply.
