Career
Test Cricket
He struggled in the Test arena and made only one century, an innings of 113 vs Pakistan at Headlingley in 1996. His next best score was 96 vs Zimbabwe in a drawn game at Bulawayo in 1996-97.
One Day Internationals
Debuting in 1996, he scored centuries in his second and third innings in ODI cricket, on consecutive days against a Pakistan bowling attack that included Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.
Knight wasn't selected for the World Cup team in 1999 and made his World Cup debut in the 2003 tournament. He performed well in an unsuccessful campaign for England and famously faced the first delivery in cricket officially to break the 100 mph barrier, bowled by Shoaib Akhtar.
