In all, he played in seven first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club between 1885 and 1888, scoring 127 runs at an average of 9.07. He also played for Charterhouse School and Sandhurst, whom he captained. Upon his death in Newbury, Berkshire, the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack described him as being "a free-hitting bat with good style ... a useful slow bowler and a brilliant fieldsman". His brother Edward Champion Streatfeild (1870-1932) also played first class cricket for Surrey County Cricket Club between 1890 and 1892.
