Neville Alexander Knox (10 October 1884 – 3 March 1935) was an English fast bowler of the late 1900s and effectively the successor to Tom Richardson and William Lockwood in the Surrey team.
When sound, he was clearly the fastest bowler seen for a long time in county cricket[2] and, even on much truer Oval pitches, he was able to make the ball rise dangerously.
In 1907, though a wet summer severely restricted his opportunities, a superb effort against a powerful South African team earned Knox a place in the second Test at Headingley.
[5] A superb performance for the Gentlemen at the Oval gave Surrey great hope he would be as good as in 1906, but he only played in three matches, and in 1909 could spare no time for cricket at all.
1910 saw Knox back in the Surrey eleven for five matches, in which he bowled as well as before, but after July he could never again spare any time for county cricket — thus ending a brief but brilliant career.
