Early life

After a few games for New South Wales, Sid Redgrave took up a coaching position in Brisbane in 1907. He represented Queensland regularly between 1907 and 1921, with a highest score of 107 in a team total of 181 against New South Wales in 1911/12.[4][5] He continued to coach in Brisbane after his first-class career ended, and was also a state selector.[4] His younger brother Bill left Sydney in 1903 to play first-class cricket in New Zealand.[6]
