Daniel Radcliffe has made a guest appearance on a song by Neil Hannon's quirky cricket-themed band.

The Harry Potter star, who is a big fan of the sport, has recorded a speaking part on a track called Third Man by The Duckworth Lewis Method, a group put together by The Divine Comedy frontman.

Fellow British actor Stephen Fry also appears on the album, Sticky Wickets, along with several cricket commentators.

The band's name is derived from a formula for calculating cricket scores, and its first album was released to coincide with the 2009 Ashes series, a regular five-match contest between Australia and England.

The group's second record is out next month (Jul13) in time for the 2013 Ashes this summer (13).
