Godfrey Cripps (19 October 1865 in Mussoorie - now Musuri, India – 27 July 1943 in Adelaide, Australia) was a cricketer who played in one Test for South Africa in 1891-92.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Godfrey Cripps )〕 Born in India and educated at Cheltenham College, Cripps played just four first-class cricket matches, all of them in South Africa. A middle-order right-handed batsman, his first first-class appearance was in the South Africa side that lost to Walter Read's "English" touring team – the side included Billy Murdoch and John Ferris as well as English players. A season later, Cripps played twice for Western Province scoring a century in the second match against Griqualand West. His final game was the 1893-94 Currie Cup final for Western Province against Natal which his side won inside two days. In 1894, he was vice-captain of the South African tour team to England, but no first-class matches were played on the tour. ==Personal life== According to his obituary in the Adelaide Advertiser, Cripps was the cousin of the British Cabinet minister Sir Stafford Cripps and had been a deputy sheriff in the Cape Colony before coming to Australia 30 years before his death. Cripps is described in the obituary as living at Simpson Road, Wattle Park and as having been a schoolmaster, initially in Queensland and then at St Peter's College, Adelaide until 10 years before his death.〔 The same obituary however states that he was "captain of the Team in one of the Test Matches", which is not borne out by Cricketworld's ''CSW'' database. 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「Godfrey Cripps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
