    Muyeye is not making enough runs, often out before 40 odd. Should we keep him?
    Positive so far in second innings and 126 off the 300. Dont wobble now, Kent
    Muyeye's actually, for those that have batted more than three or more times, second in the averages this season at 38.66 with two 50s and two 100s from 16 innings. He is talented but, again, sometimes he loses his concentration, He's also had a disrupted season firstly with that head injury and then having to watch from the stands for virtually the duration of the Hundred. He is one who, should he leave, will come back to haunt us.

    I quite like Muyeye but I'm not blind to see his weaknesses (had this on draft but see that @Addick Addict has explained why he is worth keeping)
  • Muyeye is a wonderful batsman (& batter grr). It is how to harness it and, as AA says, avoid the concentration lapses. Gower comes to mind. Not saying Muyeye in that league, but same style of batsman. Counties would form a queue if we change course

    197-3 (60) at close for a lead of 218

    Superb innings to date by Northeast and he will, hopefully, convert that into a big hundred tomorrow. A partnership of 53* with DBD. We are in a very strong position but this is Kent we are talking about!

    Northeast 96* (176)
    DBD 17* (35)

    We can hopefully get well over 300 tomorrow. They dont have to rush. Give ourselves 4 or 5 sessions to bowl them out. 

    Northants weather forecast not so great. Disappointing Durham have been poor so far.

    Given the pitch has flattened out, our attention should turn to not "how many can we defend?" but "how many runs and how much time will we need to bowl them out?"  

    Perhaps another 40 overs and 180 runs to give us a lead of 450? That would give us about 20 overs tonight and all day tomorrow (no rain forecast)

    Now I've said that, just waiting now for our collapse and 275 all out!

    DBD caught and bowled on the stroke of lunch for 44 (101)

    What have I said about breaks disrupting the concentration? 

    Northeast bowled straight after lunch for 132 (241)

    We need to get to the stage where we have enough runs to enable us to take two new balls if necessary.

    Dudgeon caught at slip for a 10-ball duck. The new ball has definitely changed the course of the innings

    295-7

    Lead of 316

    Hasan the last man out for 6 (13). Bizarre run out with Mahmud being going for a second run in order to get back on strike!

    Benjamin 36* (62)

    358 all out (108.2) for a lead of 379. Despite our start today, I think we would all have taken that last night.

    Another to Milnes as Libby tries to pull his bat away but only ends up guiding it into Benjamin's gloves

    Hampshire lose again, relegation looks likely. Which is amusing.
