Schoolboy cricketer Michael Andrews showed his England heroes how to play - by staging a super-show with both ball and bat. The 10 year-old, from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, scored 241 not out in 100 minutes before taking two wickets to help demolish the opposition during the match for Birchfield School's 1st XI. He hit 11 sixes and 30 fours from just 124 deliveries and Christopher Lane, managing director of cricketer's bible Wisden, told the Daily Mail it was "a very exceptional innings and the best I've ever heard of for a boy his age".
