John Frame (1733 – 11 October 1796) was an English cricketer of the mid-Georgian period who played for Dartford, Kent and Surrey.
Cricket then underwent an evolutionary change as pitching was introduced, still with an underarm action; the modern straight bat was invented in response.
[3] Frame was described by John Nyren as one of the Hambledon Club's greatest opponents and as "the other principal (bowler) with Lumpy".
Nyren says he remembers little of Frame, except that he was a fast bowler and an unusually stout man for a cricketer.
He named Frame, David Harris, Richard Newland and John Small as examples.
