Clarence Skelton Wimble, a South African cricketer, was born at Graaff-Reinet, Cape Colony, on 22 April 1861 and died in Johannesburg in the Transvaal on 28 January 1930, aged 68. A right-handed batsman and superior field, his first-class career was an exceedingly short one lasting just two matches in eleven months. His debut came in a Currie Cup match in 1891 when Kimberley came to the Old Wanderers ground at Johannesburg and defeated Transvaal. In a Timeless match lasting seven days, Wimble top scored for Transvaal in the first innings with 62 and followed this with a further 46 in the second innings. This performance contributed to his selection for South Africa’s sole Test Match against England in 1891-92, and their third representative match overall, played at Newlands in Cape Town. In a three-day match completely dominated by the visitors – England won by an innings and 189 runs – Wimble had the ignominy of scoring ‘a pair’, caught in the first innings and stumped in the second. ==References== # ''World Cricketers - A Biographical Dictionary'' by Christopher Martin-Jenkins published by Oxford University Press (1996). # ''The Wisden Book of Test Cricket, Volume 1 (1877-1977)'' compiled and edited by Bill Frindall published by Headline Book Publishing (1995). # www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clarence Wimble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
