Kent Spitfires v India match a sell-outKent County Cricket Club announced today that Kent Spitfires’ match against the world champion one-day Indian team is a sell-out. The 50 over match, which takes place this Friday will start at 2.30pm and continue into the evening under floodlights at the St Lawrence Ground in front of around 7,000 spectators.
The new permanent floodlights and improved Club and supporter facilities at the St Lawrence Ground mean that visitors are in for a real treat. Adding to the atmosphere on Friday will be a range of entertainment from 2pm, including traditional Indian Bhangra dancers and drummers – Jugnu Bhangra, as well as a range of British music and dance.
A variety of food will be available for sale at the ground, including Indian options, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. The public bar and Jonesy’s Kitchen in the Les Ames Stand will also be open to all spectators, where food will be available.

Security will be stringent for this match and spectators should expect to have their bags searched as they enter the ground.

A 7k sell out - that should be good for County coffers, let's hope for good weather and brisk business at the beer tents.0

Start delayed - inspection at 4PM.0

Raining at 4PM so the inspection was shifted to 5PM, there's dampness on some practice strips so there'll be another inspection at 6PM.
If any play happens my money is on a T20.

Hats off to KCCC, the umpires and the Indian team for putting a match on. The ground was basically flooded at 3pm and it would have been very easy to call it off. The new lights are fantastic and Kent must have more Day/Nighters next season.
