Bethell's brilliance on the world stage brings back memories of a young Amiss at Hull

Jacob Bethell’s exhilarating innings in the T20 World Cup semi-final against India was wonderful to watch.

Such a rare fusion of top-drawer talent and temperament and, perhaps most pleasing of all, from a guy that is also a good human being - courteous, grounded and humble. That’s the sort of chap we want at the top of sport!
