The son of the Test cricketer John Dewes, who played for England between 1948 - 50, Dewes was born in June 1957 at Rugby, Warwickshire. He was educated at Dulwich College, where his father taught, before going up to St John's College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Surrey at Fenner's in 1978. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1979, making fourteen appearances.[2] In his fourteen matches, he scored a total of 368 runs at an average of 18.40 and a high score of 84.[3] In addition to playing first-class cricket while at Cambridge, he also made a single List A one-day appearance for the Combined Universities cricket team against Northamptonshire in the 1979 Benson & Hedges Cup,[4] during which he was dismissed without scoring by Tim Lamb.[5] After graduating from Cambridge, he became a schoolteacher. He currently teaches geography at Wellington College, Berkshire.[6] His sons, Jonathan and Adam Dewes, have also played first-class cricket.
