About Stewart Storey

  • Not to be confused with the athletics commentator Stuart Storey.Stewart James Storey (born 6 January 1941) is a former English cricketer.
  • He was an all-rounder, a right-handed middle-order batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler as well as being a fine slip fielder.
  • He played for Surrey from 1960 to 1976, winning the County Championship with them in 1971, and subsequently appeared for Sussex in 1978.
  • He was readily recognisable on the cricket field by his fair hair.He finished his first-class cricket career with over 10,000 runs, almost 500 wickets and more than 300 catches.
  • He did the double for Surrey in 1966, the only occasion since World War II that a Surrey player has achieved the feat.
  • He reached 1,000 runs in five seasons in all, but 1966 was the only time that he managed 100 wickets. His last appearance in top-class cricket was when he appeared for Sussex in the Final of the Gillette Cup at Lord's on 2 September 1978.
  • Sussex beat Somerset by five wickets, but Storey's contribution to their victory was minor; he did not bowl and scored 0 not out.
  • This paralleled his experience when Surrey won the Benson and Hedges Cup during his last full season with them in 1974.
  • In the Final at Lord's Surrey beat Leicestershire by 27 runs, but Storey scored only 2 and did not bowl.
