Cricket Player

Who was Frank Sibbles?
Frank Marshall Sibbles was a bowler who represented Lancashire County Cricket Club in first-class cricket. He started off playing cricket for Werneth Cricket Club in the Central Lancashire Cricket League. It was during this period that he was chosen to represent Lancashire as a replacement for Cecil Parkin when he left the club to play league cricket. As well as bowling off spin, Sibbles sometimes bowled medium pace and using off-cutters, regularly opening the bowling for Lancashire in the 1930s. In his final season for Lancashire, Sibbles bowling was affected by a knee injury and was forced to retire. According to Wisden, he was "one of the most consistent cricketers without a major representative honour to his name". After retiring from playing, Sibbles joined the Lancashire committee, and at one point was a member of the board of selectors which chose the Lancashire team. On 20 July 1973, Sibbles died suddenly at his home in Bramhall, although he had been ill for several years.
