Clarrie Grimmett bowled just one no-ball in his 67 Test innings

An Australian of Kiwi descent, Clarrie Grimmett was the first bowler in Test history to take 200 wickets and was also credited with discovering the flipper.

Nicknamed 'The Fox', the leg-spinner made his Test debut as a 33-year-old in 1925 against England at Sydney Cricket Ground and took 11 wickets in the match helping Australia to a 307-run victory.

Between 1931 and 1936, Grimmett played 10 Test matches (8-ball overs) against South Africa and claimed 77 wickets at 15.57 and an impressive economy of 1.83.

The man who bowled just one no-ball in his 67 Test innings, claimed eight five-fors and four 10-wicket hauls against the Proteas.

The Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1931, Grimmett recorded figures of 14/199, his best against South Africa, in a 1932 Test at Adelaide as the hosts won the match by 10 wickets.
