Stewkes' Pen Picture

Good bowler in July and August. It's a shame about his batting these days. Still hugely respected (see Legends section), but no longer captain.

1982 Pen Picture

Right hand number three bat, bowler of pace and spin, excellent fielder. Respected Captain of Red Triangle C.C.

Other Information

Best player the club has ever had, and he is never slow to tell anyone. Top wicket taker and run scorer for PRT. Has no time for losers and Jan Davey. Hit for a six by a 12 year old and trapped L.B.W. by Kate Lewin, during a season he'd rather forget. Caught eating out of a bin, alter ego may be of a tramp. Self-appointed practical joker of PRT. Nailed Elenor's shoes to the floor and ran his shirt up the flagpole. Very poor tourist, will only drink half a lager in the two days he is there, but claims to the contrary that no one can keep up with the human drinking machine.

Hates Jan Davey and all he stands for. Refutes accusations that he chucks the ball when bowling. Claims the only thing he's embarrassed of is his standard of fielding as the years catch up with him. though stilll does a job at 1st slip. Sees John Ryan as a valuable ally. Denies rumours he doesn't start playing until mid-season when the wickets start taking spin. Prefers a dry talc shower to the wet variety. Former Terra favourite, turning out for the reserves on multiple occasions. Thanks to his fame and numerous escapades, has never had to buy lunch or a drink on the Island. Knocked out a very drunk "Fishy" Gilham when on tour.
