Frank Holdsworth (15 September 1871 – 4 August 1941) was a New Zealand cricketer who played 12 matches of first-class cricket for Wellington from 1892 to 1903. He was also a lawyer.
Life and career
Holdsworth was a tall, powerfully built right-arm medium-pace bowler whose height enabled him to extract extra bounce from the pitch, and a hard-hitting right-handed tail-end batsman.[1] In Wellington's innings victory over Hawke's Bay in 1896-97 he took 6 for 47 and 6 for 35.[2]
After attending Wellington College and Wanganui Collegiate School he became a lawyer, and practised in Wellington for more than 40 years. He and his wife Winnie had two daughters and two sons.[3]
