Everett was born in Sydney and educated at Newington College (1917–1918).[2] A right-arm fast medium bowler and left-handed batsman for Petersham Cricket Club,[3] Everett took 134 wickets at first-class level at an average of 27.11 runs per wicket.[1] He was chosen as part of the Australian squad to tour in England in 1926 but illness and poor form meant he missed selection for the Test matches.[3]
His best bowling figures, 6/23, were taken against Queensland in January 1930; in the same match Donald Bradman scored his then-record 452.[4]
