Crooks, a bank clerk, had come to the notice of the elite in 1874 in a moment of cricketing fame when, representing South Australia at Adelaide Oval, he took a spectacular boundary catch to dismiss the legendary W. G. Grace for six runs.

A large part of the bank’s cash deficiency turned out to be money misappropriated by Crooks as SACA treasurer.
