Frederick Norman

Frederick was the fourth son of George Warde Norman (1793–1882), a director of the Bank of England from 1821 to 1872.

[6] He played in the Eton v Harrow cricket matches in four seasons from 1854 to 1857 as a right-handed middle-order batsman.

[1] At Cambridge University in 1858 he went straight into the first team for cricket and in his first first-class match, against the Cambridge Town Club, he made 100, putting on 160 for the fourth wicket with William Benthall who made 103 and was also making his first-class cricket debut.

[7] He retained his place in the Cambridge side across the season and was picked for the University Match against Oxford University; in this game, he top-scored for Cambridge with 43 in the first innings but failed, with the rest of the side, in the second innings when the whole team was dismissed for just 39.

[9] Right at the end of the season, he played a single game for Kent which Sussex, largely through the bowling of John Wisden and Jemmy Dean, also won easily.
