Herb McGirr

Herbert Mendelson McGirr (5 November 1891 – 14 April 1964) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1930.

The fourth, arranged hastily to compensate for the washout, fared little better in terms of weather, but McGirr scored a half-century and took his only Test wicket, that of Stan Nichols.

[3][4] He also holds the record as the oldest New Zealand player to make his Test debut: 38 years and 101 days.

[5] Despite suffering severely from varicose veins for much of his career, McGirr "was always looking at his captain and waiting to be given the ball because he always felt he could take a wicket".

[8] McGirr's obituary in Wisden in 1965 records that he played club cricket until he was 67, and gave up then only because "he slipped when taking in the milk" the day after scoring 70.
