==Life and career==<br />
George Malcolm Emmett was born in [[Agra]], [[Uttar Pradesh]] in [[British India]] in 1912.<ref name="Cap"/> He started his cricket career in [[Minor counties of English and Welsh cricket|minor county]] cricket with [[Devon County Cricket Club|Devon]], before he moved to Gloucestershire to qualify to play for the county side by residency from [[1936 English cricket season|1936]]. He lost five years of his playing career as a result of [[World War II]], but by [[1947 English cricket season|1947]] Emmett was enjoying [[First-class cricket|first-class]] success.<br />
<br />
In [[1948 English cricket season|1948]] he was picked to play for England, replacing [[Leonard Hutton]] at [[Old Trafford (cricket)|Old Trafford]]. Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted that it "caused something approaching national outrage". "It was not so much the choice of Emmett, a highly-rated attacking opening batsman, that caused the stir as the absence of the man he replaced".<ref name="Cap"/> Emmett was caught for 10 in the first innings, and failed to score in the second. Hutton was restored to the side for the next encounter, and Emmett had no more international recognition.<ref name="Cap"/><br />
<br />
Emmett stayed at Gloucestershire, playing with distinction, until [[1959 English cricket season|1959]], and captained the county from [[1955 English cricket season|1955]] to [[1958 English cricket season|1958]].<ref name="Cap"/> After retiring as a player he became [[Coach (sport)|coach]] at Gloucestershire.<br />
<br />
George Emmett died in [[Knowle, Bristol]], in December 1976, at the age of 64.<ref name="Cap"/><br />
