Graeme Hole

Graeme Blake Hole (6 January 1931 – 14 February 1990) was an Australian cricketer who played 18 Test matches between 1951 and 1955.

[1] A right-handed middle-order batsman and off-spinner, Hole played 98 first-class matches between 1949–50 and 1957–58.

His debut in international cricket came when he was selected for the Australian team against England in February 1951.

However, he was ultimately declined by the Australian Baseball Council to play as he did not meet a six-month state residency requirement.

[2] After he tore his spleen in a catch to dismiss Sam Loxton, he was forced to retire three terms early, before his contract ran out.
