think Riley and Ball are playing for Bexley tomorrow
We certainly need them. Having negotiated for two Pros pre season (and in one case paid for his International clearance) both decided for their own reasons not to join.
With Min Patel leaving as well as the two Adams being committed to Kent most weeks that left rather a hole that hasn't been filled.
Match is home to Canterbury who are third from bottom and one place above Bexley.
Not sure if I'm more p*issed off by Slurrey's undoubted talent( albeit ££££ talks ) or by the inane commentary, unbiased of course from Butcher & his sidekick.
Never mind Surrey. What about the pathetic state of KCCC these days. The players we have are just plain poor with very few exceptions. Its saddens me when I think that this current shower have taken the place of the likes of Underwood, Knott, Tavare, Dilley, Ellison, Benson, the Cowdreys - the list goes on and on. Its just bloody depressing.

But I'm not bitter.......

Money talks? The game was won pretty much single handedly by Roy a Surrey youth product. Our best bowlers were Ansari batty and Curran all youth products of Surrey! The big names did alright as they have all season but they haven't won us any games!

Single handedly ? I thought Dilshan was part of a large fast scoring opening partnership. Just having "big names" in the team will give a boost. Yes Roy did well, didn't think Ansari was that special. Don't get me wrong, I would love Kent to be able to afford some big name players which lift the team and crowd but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
Looks like you, me & northstandsteve versus the Slurrey faithful !
Not to many Slurrey faithful Fanny. They turn out for the 20/20 in numbers but Kent supporters often outnumbered them at The Oval when it was the county championship.
I'm not even sure the Surrey faithful turn out in numbers for the 20/20. I always seem to be surrounded by a lot of unspeakable idiots, who talk shite all evening, spill their ridiculously expensive beer everywhere and take no interest in the cricket whatsoever.

Gareth Batty - born and bred in Yorkshire, came through their youth teams.

I'm sorry I must have missed watching his debut for Surrey as a 19 yr old when he came in and smashed a quick sixty and we all thought we'd found a new batsman! This was before he moved to Yorkshire!

Afraid not Canters, I played in the same school side in Yorkshire as Batty. His family were long standing figures in local cricket, he left Yorkshire for Surrey as he wasn't getting much of a chance at Headingley. He was quite young when he moved to Surrey, he was always a class batsman - his spin was too good to get as many wickets as he should! We couldn't get anywhere near it!
Leics 92-3 on first morning of C C match. Claydon (2-27) and Stevens (1-33) opened with Charlie Hartley (0-30) making his County debut coming on first change.
As predicted Sam Northeast is back in the fold, coming in for Fabian Cowdrey.

If you went to Harrow you get half a season to cock it up before being dropped. Old Tonbridgians get two games.
The ghost of EW Swanton is alive and well if that is not a contradiction in terms!

Not good news for my son, Seb, then as he will be going to Chis & Sid in September ;-(

Watching on Sky.
anyone here going?
Can only see Slurrey knocking off these runs in around 10 overs.
Good effort from both Fabs & Dazza though but not enough IMHO.
Prove me wrong, Kent !

To add insult to injury Matt Coles scored 29 off 17 balls and took 2-24 off 4 overs.

Interesting that Hartley is described as RF on Cricinfo.
I wonder if he really is?
Five for Claydon
