This diary records a cricketer's year: from early January and a pre-season fitness compaign through to late August ad the scoring of the last run. Philip Stone's father played a last game of cricket at 62. "He wasn't fit," Stone's mother said. "I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen. He made a complete fool of himself." Now Stone himself has turned 62 - and he too is still playing cricket. "Am I making a fool of myself?" he wonders.
