This was Silk’s first game in England this summer and Campopiano’s second after he played for Portsmouth Univerosty against St Mary’s on Tuesday.

Asked what it was like batting with Australian Silk, who plays for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League, Campopiano said: “I can confirm he is an incredible player!”

Campopiano made the news earlier this year when he was part of an indoor cricket match which broke a Guinness World Record.
