Alfred Beecher Stewart White 1879-1962

Patron of Sydney University Cricket Club – 1939-1944

ABS White has a record that’s unlikely to be approached or broken.

His last game in Grade Cricket for SUCC as an undergraduate was in October 1900. In the first two rounds of the 1900-01 season, he opened the batting for the Club’s 1st XI which was in exile, playing in the 2nd Grade competition for four seasons because of a protracted and acrimonious dispute over the eligibility of players for SUCC. White scored 60 against Norths and then 25 against Burwood before sailing to England.
