great news re NorthEast. Went Thursday, thoroughly enjoyable day, decent crowd. We didn't bowl badly really. Just they are a class away. Good experience for our young players.
on another happy note the other t20 scores weren't bad from our point of view really. Can we qualify? Hopefully the attendances for Canterbury and Tunbridge wells in next couple of weeks will also boost us a bit
Australia have shuffled around their batting order, giving an opportunity to those who "missed out" on runs in the first innings. Clarke opening and Watson is in at 3.
Kent started their CC match against Leicester this morning and having won the toss we have inserted them. Leicester are currently off to a bit of a flyer at 68-1 off 14. Coles with the wicket.
However, the question I have to ask is this. When was the last time we went into a game without a front line spinner?
No Treders, Riley or even Cowdrey today and only Denly who can bowl spin in the side - a career record of 27 first class wickets rather says it all.
This one has "failure to knock off under 200 in the second innings" stamped all over it. There's more chance of Lewis Hamilton failing to win the F1 title...

Coles 3-43 Haggett 1-9
Surprised Hunn didn't get a game. Got the top 5 Aussies out in the first innings. Must wonder what he has to get in
140-7
Stevens (2) and Haggett (1) to add to the previous ones to fall.
"They" knew re the wicket. And the even better news is that it ain't our wicket ;-)
Haggett does just have the one wicket and not two as misreported by me previously. But Coles now has 5-51
Coles 6-52
Haggett does now get his second wicket.
Now all we have to do is post 400 and we should win the match!
Clearly trying to prove that he has mended his ways ;-)
44-2 and currently 115 behind.
Need exactly a hundred for a lead. Perhaps my prediction of 400 might have been a bit unrealistic.
Concentrating on the T20.
