Glenmore Cricket Club - Alexander Storey

Player Profile - Alex Storey


Full Name:
 
Alexander Storey
         

Nickname(s):

  
Used to be 'Stick', but sadly I don't seem to have one these days. Not one that anyone says to my face anyway.

Age:

  
35

Clubs Played For:

  
Hutton CC, Twickenham CC and Glenmore CC

Glenmore CC Debut:
  
Three days after I moved to Calgary! May 2009.

Batting Style:

  
Orthodox yet inconsistent right hander

Bowling Style:

  
None these days I'm afraid (even on tour)

Preferred Fielding Position:
  
Still stuck wearing the keeping gloves, which is good fun. 
 

Career Best Score / Glenmore Best Score:

  
126 not out vs Kanata Panthers in 2012
 

Career Best Bowling Figures / Glenmore Best Bowling Figures:

  
Never really had much of a bowl for Glenmore. I think 10-2-35-7 was my personal best, for Hutton 3rd XI!

Best Cricketing Moment:

  
Personally, hitting the winning runs in a nail biting cup semi-final for Twickenham in 2004. And the 2005 Ashes of course...cricket doesn't get better than that series.

Best Moment for Glenmore:

 
Any time GCC gets a win it feels pretty good. 
 

Favourite Ground(s):

  
Lords, Chelmsford, Hutton, Twickenham and Riley Park.
 

Least Favourite Ground(s):
  
Inland Small and Forest Lawn
 

Best Thing About Glenmore CC:

  
We are very lucky at Glenmore to have a fantastically friendly, fun, diverse membership. We have a great bunch of guys and girls at the club.
Plus, I think we should be very proud of our Junior cricket programs.

One Thing You Would Change About Calgary Cricket:

  
Lots to choose from. More/better facilities would obviously be welcome. But I think we would most benefit from a better administered league, and if all games were played in a friendlier spirit.

Ideas To Help The Club:
  
The number one thing would be our own ground. There would be no stopping us if we had our own facilities.

All Time Favourite Cricketer:

  
I think it has to be Shane Warne. Just a magician with the ball.
 

Other Sporting Heroes:

  
Tony Adams.
 

Goals For 2015 Season:

  
Personally it would be nice to make some runs, and contribute to the 1st XI. But the main goal is for everyone to enjoy their cricket this Summer playing for Glenmore.

Biggest Influence In Cricket:
  
My Dad. Still tells me to move my feet when I bat!
 

Favourite Food:

  
Love a curry. Love cheese. Love my Mum's roast dinners.
 

Favourite Drink:
  
A good old fashioned, frothing pint of ale!
 

Favourite Music:

  
Bob Dylan
 

Favourite Film:

  
Taxi Driver
 

Anything Else To Add:

  
Support your club, support your teammates, and get involved.
