You know you're getting old when...
...professional cricketers look like they should still be at school. In the case of Durham's James Minto however, looks are not deceiving, he is only 16 years old! Despite his youth and relatively small stature, he is already an alarmingly quick left arm bowler - hitting speeds above 85mph - and of course he still has time to grow. Fortunately, from a Surrey perspective, he was unsuccessful until he picked up two late wickets by which time Surrey had established a useful first innings lead in this must win Championship match. Durham seems to be a breeding ground for quality fast bowlers, and I wouldn't be surprised to see this lad in an England shirt in the not too distant future
