Francis Prest McHugh (born 15 November 1925, Burmantofts, Leeds, Yorkshire, England) is an English former first-class cricketer, who played three games for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1949,〔 and 92 matches for Gloucestershire from 1952 to 1956. A right arm fast medium bowler,〔Preston, Norman (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'', 90th edition (1953); p. 355〕 he took 276 wickets at an average of 24.84, with a best of 7 for 32 for Gloucestershire against his native county. He took five wickets in an innings fifteen times, and ten wickets in a match on four occasions. Initially McHugh was a distinctly fast bowler who came into the Yorkshire team with a major injury to Ron Aspinall who was heading the bowling averages early in 1949.〔Preston, Hubert (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack''; 87th edition (1950); p. 571〕 He did modestly and with the presence of Coxon, Trueman and Appleyard, was discarded and did not play even in the Second Eleven in 1950.〔Preston, Hubert (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers’ Almanac'', 88th Edition (1951); pp. 696-698〕 McHugh then went to Gloucestershire and upon qualifying he quickly found that his accuracy could only become of county standard when he moderated his pace. Consequently, McHugh became with George Lambert the best pace attack Gloucestershire - a county known for half a century for its near-exclusive reliance on spin bowling - had fielded to that point in the twentieth century. In 1954 he took ninety-two wickets for exactly twenty runs each, and in 1955 did almost as well with over seventy-five wickets, whilst in 1956 his average fell further to only nineteen runs a wicket. McHugh's batting was consistently inept. His average of 2.63 is the lowest by anyone to play more than fifty first-class games.〔Cricket record lists do not keep records for lowest batting average, but Bailey, Phillip; Thorn, Phillip; and Wynne-Thomas, Peter; ''The Complete Who’s Who of Cricketers'' (ISBN 0600346927) shows nobody with nearly so low an average〕 66 of his 111 innings were scoreless (he was dismissed for a duck 38 times), and he reached double figures on only four occasions. It was probably the liability of his batting that caused Gloucestershire to discard him in favour of David Smith for the 1957 season: McHugh had suffered from illness during 1956,〔Preston, Norman (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'', 94th edition (1957); p. 364〕 and did not play after June, but had bowled so well in his last-ever game with eleven wickets for 112 runs that he was expected to continue in 1957. ==References==
