Frank Cameron, New Zealand cricketer
Francis James Cameron (born 1 June 1932) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played 19 Tests for New Zealand as a fast bowler.
He took three five-wicket-hauls in an innings during his Test career for New Zealand, two of them during his first tour against South Africa in 1961–62, where New Zealand drew 2–2 in the five–Test series. During that series, he was dismissed once in nine innings, and finished with a batting average of 17. In 30 Test innings, he ended up not out in two thirds of them, which might have contributed to his career batting average of 11.6 – he only made it into double figures three times with the bat.
However, after bowling figures of 32–5–122–0 in a tour match against Warwickshire, Cameron was left out of the team to play the third Test. He did play the last three tour matches against Scotland, Ireland and Netherlands, taking 19 wickets, but was never selected again for Test cricket, and retired after the 1966–67 season.
