Hoping for a Key moment

AFP, Chester-le-Street
England batsman Robert Key said Tuesday he hoped his luck would change when the second and final Test against Zimbabwe got underway at the Riverside here later this week.
Key, 24, has been struggling this season and in his seven Tests so far he has only once passed fifty, against Australia at Melbourne in December.
"It's not as if I've been getting out for 10," Key told reporters at the Riverside, the home ground of northeast county Durham, ahead of the venue's first Test on Thursday.
"I've been getting to 30, hitting the ball pretty well but getting out when well set," explained Key who appeared unlucky to be given out caught behind for 18 during England's innings and 92-run first Test victory against Zimbabwe at Lord's last month.
But any fears Key might have had that he was playing for his international place eased last when he was included in England's one-day squad for the home matches
against Pakistan and the triangular series with Zimbabwe and South Africa.
"At the start of the season, one-day cricket was not something I'd targeted. But as soon as I realised they (the selectors) were going for younger guys I knew I was in with a chance. It's a huge confidence boost," Key said.
And he added that the recent return to form of Surrey left-hander Graham Thorpe, whose withdrawal from cricket last season because of personal problems, gave Key his international chance, did not worry
him unduly. "It was fairly obvious he was going to get runs. He's not the worst player in the world."
If Key has yet to nail down an England place as a middle-order batsman he has fitted into the side at short leg, a spot traditionally given to one of a team's younger players as it is one of the most dangerous positions on the field.
"I've often been the youngest player in a team so I've been at short leg. I don't mind it in there. You are always in the game. It makes you concentrate and the day goes quicker."
The first Test as a whole went pretty quickly with England wrapping up the match inside three days. But Key said Zimbabwe would be a tougher side second time around. "They went at the ball pretty hard at Lord's. They were just getting used to the conditions then."
Key has longer knowledge of the Riverside than most of his England team-mates. As a 15-year-old he made his second eleven debut for Kent at the ground. Asked if he made many runs, Key joked: "I made more then than I do now."
But pressed on what he actually scored, Key admitted: "31." Both he and England will hope he improves upon that later this week.
