Profile

Wes Durston is one of several ex-Millfield pupils in the Somerset set-up, and by 2006 he had become a regular part of the county's middle order. 2005 was something of a breakthrough year for Durston as he played several times in the Championship and was an ever-present in Somerset's victorious Twenty20 cup campaign. He had shown his promise on debut in 2002 with a cavalier 45-ball 55 against West Indies A.
