To introduce Tony to those who don’t yet know him, he is a former Essex Young Amateur wicket-keeper and opening batsman who faced up to the likes of John Snow and Richard Jefferson in their respective Young Amateur sides.
Tony then went to Cambridge University, starting his cricket in 1962 when Tony Lewis was Captain and Mike Brearley was Secretary of the team.
