Trivial Fact of the Day with Rihanna

The rule at the moment is that the less time a cricketer has spent with the England coaches, the better he performs. So much so that Steve Finn has been sent somewhere thousands of miles from them in the hope that his game will recover.

Another example of this phenomenon is the Sussex opening bowler Chris Jordan, who has been brought into the squad for the one-day internationals and performed well.

Jordan has another claim to fame, as the Daily Mail explained:

England certainly need to discover some star quality during the one-day series against Australia - although the nearest they have come so far is Sussex all-rounder Chris Jordan being in the same class at Combermere High School in Barbados as pop royalty Rihanna. 

Jordan left the school and Robyn Fenty, as Rihanna was then, at the age of 16 when he won a sports scholarship to Dulwich College.
