Northants are 155-6 against Essex so unlikely to get maximum batting points which they will need so all good for Kent touchwood!
[cite]Posted By: MrOneLung[/cite]Ah - but would you rather they stayed in this division playing thrilling cricket, or plodding along in the division above.......
Yep, Northants are unlikely to get the 400 needed for maximum batting points, and may even struggle to get the 200 needed for the first batting bonus point. That being the case, kent already have 3 bonus points, and only need another 3-4 points to be champions
With the other results, kent only need 100 more runs in the next 85 overs to win the title on bonus points alone I think (not sure how many bonus points notts have got, so could be 150 more runs if notts somehow recovered their position)
We were unlucky to come down in the first place given that we still had a mathematical chance of the Championship with 2 or 3 to play!
Well done Rob and the lads.
I think some strengthening will be needed in certain areas next season (I don't see Phil Edwards opening the bowling in league 1 for instance like he has on occasions this season) but that is a debate for another day...
453 all out, 305 in front with best part of 5 session to bowl out leicester again (took less than 3 sessions in the first innings without having to use Tredwell).

By the way Did I tell you about the Notes I took at the Last Home Match............

There are times you have to cast aside your rug and flask stand up and be counted.

Leicester declared at 350-2. Northeast had a bowl meaning Stevens (injured maybe) and Jones (wicketkeeper) were the only two not to bowl.
He was obviously hoping to roll them over!
Not that it matters.
Key got 50, Jones 44 and Blake is 38 not out. MT Coles is playing and there is no van Jaarsveld. Hockley has replaced him.
Gloucestershire 21-0 Bad light stopped play.
I suspect that will prove to be the close of play score in reality.

That was one of them.

MT Coles has taken his first wicket in first class cricket but is going at more than 6 an over!
Tredders needs 1 more wicket for his 200 for Kent.
