From BBC Sport: ECB pitch liaison officer John Jameson is writing a report on whether Kent prepared a sub-standard pitch, after 29 wickets fell in two days.
Will they take into account that at least 2 of the wickets were down to clear umpiring errors?
Unfortunately this morning seems to have proved the pitch was poor. With 2 days to score 72 and therefore no need to play silly shots, we still managed to lose 4 wickets
@BBCRADIOKENTBBC RADIO KENT#kentcricket 50! Azhar gets to a half century in 57 balls with 7 fours, giving Joe Denly 135* all the support he needs. Important innings.
Never in the history of Kent cricket has it been a better place to be a young cricketer. Time to re-build and take our time doing so without the presuure of expectation especially as we can't be relegated!
Joe Denley signs for Middlesex, Martin Van Jaarlsveld signs for Leicesterchire and Paul Farbrace leaves the club, I thought it couldn't get any worse?
Both have have hardly been outstanding for the last couple of seasons. MVJ is maybe on the last year of his career, and Denly has the talent, but perhaps needs to be pushed a little.
MVP has scored 1900 in the last two seasons in FC cricket at 40, he has also played many a useful innings in limited over cricket, he will be a huge loss in that middle order.

Sounds as though he's pretty experienced.
Not too green.....

750 runs last season at 30 is not good enough.
