Personal Life
According to his obituary in the Adelaide Advertiser, Cripps was the cousin of the British Cabinet minister Sir Stafford Cripps and had been a deputy sheriff in the Cape Colony before coming to Australia 30 years before his death. Cripps is described in the obituary as living at Simpson Road, Wattle Park and as having been a schoolmaster, initially in Queensland and then at St Peter's College, Adelaide until 10 years before his death.
The same obituary however states that he was "captain of the Team in one of the Test Matches", which is not borne out by Cricketworld's CSW database.
