Simon's back - and he's looking sharper than ever
For speed merchant Simon Jones, first impressions certainly last. The young Welshman made a big impact on his Test debut against India at Lord's in 2002, scoring 44 runs and claiming two wickets, including clean bowling Sachin Tendulkar. But it all went horribly wrong when he badly injured his knee during the first Ashes Test against Australia five months later. But after surgery and lots of hard work, Simon's back in the England squad ready to let rip in the West Indies. He tells the Sport Academy what it's like to have cricketing legend Ian Botham as one of your biggest fans. And he reveals why he's been taking tips from an Olympic gold medal-winning athlete.
