Phil's a spinner dryer

Cricket legend finally learns how to use a washing machine at 57

- MARK JEFFERIES

CRICKET star Phil Tufnell was an expert at spinning balls, but he has only just learnt how to spin dry his smalls. 

The ex-England player, 57, says he had to find out how to use the washing machine because his wife had hip-replacement surgery.

Kitchen novice Phil also had to learn how to use the dishwasher and has been doing the cooking while his other half Dawn, who he calls the Duchess, recovers.
