Frederick Eustace Reade Fryer (7 January 1849 – 1 October 1917) was an English first-class cricketer.
Life and cricket
The son of Colonel Frederick Daniel Fryer, he was born at Holbrook House in Holbrook, Suffolk.[1] He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Caius College, Cambridge in 1869.[2][3] He later migrated to Downing College, Cambridge in 1872.[3] His debut in first-class cricket came for the Gentlemen of the South against the Players of the South at The Oval in 1869.[4] The following year he debuted for Cambridge University at Fenner's against the Marylebone Cricket Club.[4] He would play for Cambridge in 23 first-class matches to 1873,[4] at a time when university cricket was particularly strong with the likes of William Yardley and Cuthbert Ottaway.[2] He captained Cambridge in 1873,[2] as well as receiving his cricket blue in 1870, 1871, 1872, and 1873.[3] He remained an avid cricketer following his graduation from Cambridge, playing in first-class cricket for several teams until 1883,[4][2] including the South, Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club, Gentlemen, England XI, Gentlemen of England, Oxford and Cambridge Universities Past and Present, and the Orleans Club.[5] His playing style was described by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as:
"Upright, easy and graceful, Fryer was a beautiful bat to watch—as attractive to look at as Lionel Palairet in our own time."
Across 58 first-class appearances, Fryer scored 2,149 runs at an average of 21.92.[6] A strong leg side player,[2] Fryer made twelve first-class half centuries, four of which came at Fenners and three at The Oval.[2] He never managed to make a century, with his highest score being 91.[6] A competent medium pace bowler, Fryer took 39 wickets at a bowling average of 29.00, twice taking a five wicket haul.[6]
Personal life
He succeeded his father as a justice of the peace for Suffolk in 1875.[3][1] Fryer married Mary Alice Lucas in February 1885, the sister of the baronet and first-class cricketer Arthur Lucas, with the couple having three daughters[1] Later in life he took up golf, becoming a skilled player.[2] He died at Poplar in October 1917.[2]
