Simon Jones makes his comeback

Simon Jones played his first competitive game of cricket today, some nine months after his horrific knee injury in the opening Test of the Ashes series in Brisbane.

Jones made his comeback in Glamorgan`s 2nd XI match against Lancashire 2nd XI at Panteg, with the young pace bowler delivering two four over spells in which he failed to take a wicket, but did force one of the visiting batsmen to retire hurt after being hit a painful blow by one of Jones` deliveries.

"I felt good throughout," said Jones afterwards, "and it`s really nice to be back on the field."
