Who is Sam Trimble?

Samuel Christy Trimble was an Australian first-class cricketer who played for the Queensland Bulls between 1959/60 and 1975/76.

He was a right-handed opening batsman, and despite a prolific career for Queensland he never represented Australia in Tests, due to the success of Australian openers Bill Lawry and Bob Simpson. The closest he got was as 12th man for Australia in the West Indies in 1964-65.

In 1970-71, he scored 177 against an MCC attack which included John Snow and Peter Lever, thus proving he could perform against the very best. The father of international batsman Glenn Trimble, he finished his 144-game career with 10,282 runs at 41.79 with a highest score of 252 not out. Until Stuart Law passed him in the late '90s, he was the all-time leading run-scorer for Queensland.
