About Frank Cobden
Frank Carroll Cobden (14 October 1849 – 7 December 1932) was an English cricketer who played for Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
In the University Match of 1870 he famously took a hat-trick comprising the last three Oxford University batsmen when Oxford required only three more runs to win.
Thus Cambridge University won by two runs a match which they had seemed certain to lose.
This feat led to the 1870 match becoming known as "Cobden's Match".
