James Fuggles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Fuggles was an English cricketer in the 18th century. He was a Kent batsman who played in all three recorded matches in 1772 and made his final known appearance in 1773. In his four recorded appearances, he played 8 innings and scored 51 runs with a top score of 21.
He was a regular player before the sport's statistical record began in 1772 but little is known of him. There are scattered references to him playing in major matches during the 1760s.
