Lives in Cricket No 19 - Frank Sugg

literally true. Not that Sugg is a mere smiter or slogger and nothing more. We have seen him play what (for him) is a very careful game indeed. He could not have made his scores without defensive powers. But when other men beat about the bush, he, if the occasion at all warrants it, goes into the open. He is not so much a slogger as a hard hitter. 6 When Frank Sugg’s other achievements are added to the story of his cricket career, he emerges as one of the more interesting men to have played for Lancashire in the county club’s long history. We shall also find that the story of his life is not as straightforward as might have been supposed. Not Merely a Smiter 11 6 Manchester Guardian , 7 June 1897.
