Durham Coach Praises Test Potential

Durham coach Ryan Campbell praised a player's Test cricket potential after Ben McKinney's 140 helped the team battle on day four.

Durham coach Ryan Campbell delivered glowing praise for a player he believes has outstanding Test cricket potential. 'If there's anyone around the country who doesn't think that boy can play Test cricket they are absolutely crazy because that pressure he brought along with his ability to nip the ball both ways and never miss the spot is outstanding,' Campbell stated.

Meanwhile, Ben McKinney's impressive 140, described as his best innings for Durham, helped the team battle on the final day after they were reduced to none for one. 'That's probably Ben's best innings that he's played for Durham because we were none for one, the ball was nipping all over the shop and he showed his ability to knuckle down and be disciplined outside the off stump but if you gave him anything he was ruthless,' Campbell added. The county scene also saw action elsewhere with Hampshire facing Yorkshire and Somerset taking on Essex. saltysenoritaaz.org
