Underwhelming appointment given his record with Gloucestershire.

Benkenstein played several years up here at Durham, well liked, a good all rounder and captain.

At Burnley he scored over 1,000 runs in 1997 but took just 10 league wickets because of an injury - came back in 2001 and scored over 800 runs and took over 50 wickets

I'm guessing with his Durham connections he'll be well known to Jennings, hopefully a good combination.

Son is a decent player…. I think he’s in the England U19 World Cup squad
