Funny game, cricket

As clear an illustration of the "charm" of cricket comes from Australia, where Tom Knight is plying his trade and twirling his spin for England Under-19s.

One day after registering figures of 5-0-56-0 against Pakistan (albeit mainly down to getting serious stick in the last over) Knight was back in all-round form last night.

With his side in trouble at 104-7 at one point, Knight's 26 at number ten helped them to 220 all out, before he enjoyed a brief bowl and figures of 1.2-0-1-2 as Bangladesh crumbled to 89 all out.

As Jimmy Greaves once said about football, it's a funny old game...
