Geff Noblet
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 166: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Geffery Noblet (14 September 1916 in Parkside, South Australia – 21 August 2006 in Adelaide, South Australia) was an Australian cricketer who played in 3 Tests from 1950 to 1953.
Noblet's bowling performance in the 1948/49 Australian domestic season was the best by a South Australian bowler in 38 seasons. Noblet took 38 wickets at 15.4, the best for any South Australian taking ten wickets or more in a season since Robert Rees took 10/129 in 1909/10.[1]
Following Noblet's selection in the Australian team to tour South Africa in 1949/50, the South Australian Cricket Association presented Noblet and fellow South Australian Gil Langley with a gift of their own choosing. Noblet asked for a set of coffee tables and Langley a combination of a standard electric lamp, coffee tray and ashtray.[2]
Noblet got his unusual first name when a family friend, given the task of registering the birth, spelt Noblet's first name as Geffery rather than Jeffery. Noblet himself was not aware of the legal spelling of his name until adulthood when he saw his birth certificate.[3]
