Off-spinner Graeme Swann has been named as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB)'s Men's Cricketer of the Year, which is selected by the British media.

Seamer Katherine Brunt won the Women's Cricketer of the Year prize and Chris Edwards claimed the disability award.

Nottinghamshire's Swann, 31, has taken 99 wickets in 45 games for England in the past year, and also starred in the Ashes and ICC World Twenty20 triumphs.

He is currently third in the ICC's world rankings of Test bowlers.

Good to see Afghanistan in the World Cup,though they lost to India.Looking forward to England's opener v the West Indies on Monday!

Jacques Rudolph smashed a career-best 228 not out as Yorkshire took full control against Durham at Headingley.

The home side resumed on 304-2 and Rudolph and Anthony McGrath (105) took their third-wicket partnership to 206 before the latter was run out.

Ruldolph then shared a century stand with Andrew Gale (41) as Yorkshire declared on 610-6.

In reply Adil Rashid took two wickets in two balls as Durham closed on 54-3, still 556 runs behind.

Rashid got rid of Will Smith (8) and nightwatchman Mark Davies, as he finished the day with 2-6 from three overs.

Captain Gale opened with Rudolph and they knocked the total off without any problem--great stuff!

Under their new young captain,Andrew Gale,Yorkshire have just won the 2nd match of the season..putting them at the top of division ONE!Like the first game,this could have gone either way

England finally cruised to a 2-0 series win over Bangladesh through the batting of Alastair Cook, who hit a 12th Test century, and Kevin Pietersen.

Cook made 109 and Pietersen 74 in an unbroken stand of 167 as England won by nine wickets, reaching their target of 209 with exactly 10 overs remaining.

Enjoying the great coverage on ITV4

Kevin Pietersen suffered another worrying failure as England drew their tour match with Bangladesh A.

Having made only 49 runs in six previous innings on tour, he made 20 but was bowled attempting a sweep shot.

Earlier, skipper Alastair Cook conceded 111 from just five overs as he bowled for a declaration by the hosts.

England were set 284 to win and Michael Carberry, seeking a place in Friday's first Test, hit six fours in 35 from 28 balls as the tourists closed on 185-4.

After his undistinguished bowling Cook did make the most of his chance with the bat, and was in control against both spin and seam in compiling 42 before he decided to retire.
