Malcolm Francke

Fredrick Malcolm Francke (born 21 March 1939) is a former Australian first-class cricketer who played for Queensland.

He reports having had offers to play first-class county cricket in England but chose not to because it would have been a full-time commitment requiring him to suspend his career as an accountant.

[1] Francke dismissed Clive Lloyd twice and also took the wickets of captain Rohan Kanhai and Sunil Gavaskar.

In a 1977 article Ian Chappell called Francke "a very steady type of spinner, with good line and length, but I can't really see him bowling out Test batsmen.

[3][4] In 1975 he was part of a rebel tour of South Africa, playing for the Brian Close-led DH Robins XI.
