A right-handed batsman and superior field, Wimble's first-class cricket career comprised 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 with 46 in the second innings.[1] This performance contributed to his selection for South Africa’s sole Test against England in 1891-92, 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.[2]
