Andrew Stone

Andrew Stone (born 6 January 1983) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer. He played one first-class match for CFX Academy cricket team in 1999/00. Biography Stone, whose cricket interest didn't stem directly from his family, attended Hellenic Junior School in Harare where sports coach Donald Mlambo nurtured his skills. His performance was impressive enough to make him captain of the national Under-13 side in his final year, and he also captained a junior school development team that played in Johannesburg. An all-rounder, Stone admits to struggling in one department while excelling in another, but lately has seen improvements in both areas. As a pace bowler and often a top-three batter in school, Stone moved to middle-order batting, preferring positions five or six. His junior school career highlights include a top score of 98 against Barwick and nine for 13 against Sharon. Stone briefly attended St. George's College before moving to St. John's College, where Peter Whalley coached him. As captain of both the national Under-14 and Under-16 teams, Stone averaged over 40 runs and took 38 wickets in a season. His performances included a 149-run inning against Peterhouse and six wickets for 20 runs against Lomagundi College.
