Who is Dennis Stokes?
Dennis Wilfrid Stokes was an English cricketer. Stokes' batting style is unknown, but he fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Reading, Berkshire, and was educated at Wellingborough School in Northamptonshire.
Stokes made his debut for Berkshire in the 1928 Minor Counties Championship against Wiltshire. Nearly a decade later in 1927 he made his first-class debut for the Minor Counties against Oxford University. In this match, he was dismissed for a duck by David Macindoe, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 39 by Sandy Singleton. He played a second first-class match for the Minor Counties the following season against the same opposition. In this match, he scored a single run in the Minor Counties first-innings, before being dismissed by Michael Magill, while in their second-innings the same bowler dismissed him for 7. Stokes had been made Berkshire captain in 1937, a position he retained after World War II and held until 1954, when he seemingly played his final match for Berkshire against Buckinghamshire in the Minor Counties Championship. However, twelve years later he returned to play a single match in the 1966 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset.
