Lives in Cricket No 16 - Joe Hardstaff

and in co-ordinating the production of the book; Zahra Ridge has designed another fine cover; Roger Mann, Pat Jeater and Peter Wynne-Thomas have helped greatly with photographs; and Gerald Hudd and John Ward have contributed proofreading expertise. Special thanks are also due to Douglas Miller for saying more than once that ‘Hardstaff needs a biography’. Finally I must thank my wife Jenny, for her helpful comments and critical reading of the text, and, above all, for compiling the index; and my son, Tom, for his assistance in acquiring a copy of Joe’s birth certificate.
