HSBC handling it well too1 -
Surely the Nigel's have got enough money that they should be forced to pay to find a solution for this?0

Mahmud has been recalled by the Bangladesh Cricket Board - they game two reasons which really don't sit comfortably with each other. The first is because of his workload to date and the second is due to them wanting him to be available for the Asian Games which start soon.0

Only just catching up in today's CL posts so may have missed something important.
But when we arrived home from the match this evening, there was a package with our address on the label in the porch.
But it was addressed to " Gene" not "Jean"- maybe sent by a dyslexic acqaintance? Surely not the irresistible Radostanradical who secretly lusts after me
?
Anyway, after shaking it, listening intently in case it was ticking, I gave it to Mr F to open this unexpected parcel.
Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice, as a litre bottle of TanUlike factor 150 dropped out , followed by a smart umbrella lettered around the handle with the words " Singing and Dancing in the Sun". Hmmm. Odd, but I did need a "new " brolly .....And finally, a very screwed up straw hat emerged looking a somewhat sad late addition forced into miniscule remaining space in the parcel.
...then all of a sudden, realisation dawned
A week ago, on Sepember 5th, it was our 56th wedding anniversary( probably named The Surprise ...) which we didn't mark as usual these days but will remember for the defeat ar Stoke . However, we did agree to celebrate belatedly during the International Break by splashing out & booking a weekend in Southend! Woohoo !
And taking another look at Mr F's sheepish face, it was as clear as mud that he had secretly upgraded our break to one in somewhere warmer climes- parasol, sun hat, sun screen were the obvious clues ! DOH !!!
So, the cunning plan was revealed !
In 2 weeks' time we're off to an idyllic sunshine week in Ceuta !!!
Can't wait ! And I'm assured we'll be able to stream the final match in Canterbury from our 5 star mobile home there !

15 man squad announced for the game starting tomorrow against Lancashire. Mahmud, as stated previously, has been recalled by Bangladesh so it's the 10 that turned out in the Derbyshire defeat plus Dawkins, Milnes, Quinn, Dudgeon and Jas

No Parky in the squad at all. Will Matt Walker sign another of his old boys?0
-
Doubtful. Jack Carson unless England finally give him a chance will be our main spinner and Coles/Leaning as the second spinner depending on Coles's international and franchise commitments. Can't see Parky ending up down here on the South Coast to barely play.killerandflash said:No Parky in the squad at all. Will Matt Walker sign another of his old boys?0 -
Kent won the toss and elected to bowl. Have left out, in addition to the absent Mahmud, Ekansh and Stewart from the last game which is a brave call given they scored almost 200 runs between them in the last match. Milnes, Dudgeon and Quinn come in.0

Benjamin has been standing up to Quinn who bowled a no ball that sailed over Benjamin's head for which the keeper gets credited with 4 byes. It would have been 6 no balls under the old rules and regs and although I queried this with the ECB they felt that it was too punitive on the bowler previously. The same thing had just happened to Seb at that time when Jas was bowling and he was not a happy bunny!0

I wonder why the changes have been made for this match ?
Are we nervous about the possibility of promotion ?

22-0 (10)
Milnes has gone for just 2 runs off his 5 overs courtesy, in the main, of Jennings who is doing his best to secure an opening berth in the England side, under the post Bazball era, with 3 runs off 29 balls.1 -
The issue is balance. The top five were the ones that failed us in the last game and we want to play a spinner so Foreman, rightly, keeps his place. To me, it would have been a question of whether we leave Stewart or Ekansh out because I would not have played Quinn. Foreman now bats at 7 with Dudgeon at 8 so our top order better stand up to be counted.Fanny Fanackapan said:I wonder why the changes have been made for this match ?
