description: "Mervyn George Waite was an Australian cricketer who played in two Test matches during the 1938 Ashes Tour. During that tour he developed a reputation as something of a playboy, revealing in a 1985 interview that \"Bradman got the runs, I got the roots\". He played as an all-rounder for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield from 1930 to 1946."
