 He was described by John Nyren as one of the Hambledon Club’s greatest opponents and as "the other principal with Lumpy" (i.e., Edward "Lumpy" Stevens).Nyren says he remembers little of Frame, except that he was an unusually stout man for a cricketer.Frame was only 16 when he first played in an important match on Friday 2 & Saturday 3 June 1749 for Surrey v All-England at Dartford Brent.
