Life and career Knox attended Dulwich College.Hodges, S, (1981), ''God's Gift: A Living History of Dulwich College'', pages 232, (Heinemann: London) He played two matches for Surrey in 1904 without achieving a great deal, but the following year, aided by some fiery pitches at The Oval, advanced so much that he was an excellent backup to Walter Lees in a major Surrey revival. Although he was expensive on true pitches Knox took 129 wickets for less than 22 runs each, and his promise was clearly noted, though even then the length (over — very long ...
