About Stuart Meaker

  • Stuart Christopher Meaker (born 21 January 1989) is a cricketer who plays for Surrey.
  • His family came to England from South Africa in 2001, and he was educated at Cranleigh School.
  • For cricketing purposes he is regarded as English.
  • He is categorised by CricketArchive and Cricinfo as a right-arm fast medium bowler and a right-handed batsman.
  • However, according to a 2011 article in The Observer in 2009 he was timed by the speed guns at the ECB’s indoor school in Loughborough at 94 miles per hour (151 km/h), the highest figure for any bowler measured there.
  • Surrey's coach Ian Salisbury said of him: "He's always been able to bowl quick and he is a 90mph bowler, but he can also swing the ball, conventionally or reverse later on."He played in two "Test" matches for the English U-19 cricket team in 2007.
  • He also played in six Under-19 limited overs internationals, of which the last two were in the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2007-8. He made his first-class debut for Surrey against Loughborough UCCE in a match that began on 12 April 2008.
  • He did not bat, but took one wicket for 53 runs.
  • He made his List A debut for Surrey against Sussex on 28 May 2008, but did not bat or bowl. The end of 2008 saw him off to Australia where he played for a club side in Sydney, before returning to play with Surrey.
  • His 2009 season at Surrey saw him significantly improve both his batting and bowling figures. In September 2011, he was called into England's squad for a one-day series in India later in the year.
  • He had taken only 19 List A wickets at the time of his selection.
  • He made his England One Day International debut on the tour, taking a wicket in the process. In early November 2012 he was added to the England squad touring India, as cover for the injured Steven Finn.
