  • DBD furious.

    With the shot or the decision the commentators cannot be sure.
  • Kent ought to wrap this by early on day 3 unless they score 600. Men v boys. Sussex's squad reminds me of Charlton. 7 of the best 11 missing and the replacements are just nowhere near the standard. Kent need Essex to slip up to gain promotion. IMHO, Essex are the only county that stand a chance of surviving next season in Division 1 and they will find it tough.
  • Denly caught on 48

    101/3

    But Essex are losing Napier and Masters next year. They will replace with one player, on a big salary, and hope he doesn't get injured...

    Fair comment. They will also see less of Cook next season as I understand it due to the proposed schedules for Test and County cricket. He helped to get them off to a good start this season and potentially could help them seal promotion. Division 1 is becoming significantly stronger than Division 2 over the last couple of years.

    It's the same number of Test matches next season, though the timing is probably slightly different due to the Champion's trophy

    I understand that (roughly speaking) April will be spent playing 50 over games, May & June will be County Championship games, July & August T20 and September County Championship games. I think this means that the Test players will miss more (or, actually, a higher percentage of) County games (as well as the fact that there are only 14 County Championship games next year.

    We have a batting point to go with our 3 bowling points.

    211-5 at the close.

    A lead of 31.

    In virtually any other circumstances an excellent day for Kent but, given the promotion situation, the maximum 5 batting points looks a long way off. Even 300 and 3 batting points could be tough.

    Essex we're coming for you...
  • Essex we're coming for you...

    We're really not... :-)
  • Think our only hope of overhauling Essex is going to lie in the next round of matches. We play the week before Essex, so possibility one of the games may be weather affected while the other isn't. We win, they only draw as it rains for 3 days, then we beat them at home. Simple!

    I'm clutching at straws aren't I?

    479-9 Gidman 94* in danger of running out of partners before his ton!

    Lead 299
  • Essex look certain to get maximum points from this game, as do we.

    Nothing gained...

    Gidman is rubbish

    If I was running Notts I'd let him go at the end of the season

    Claydon caught at mid-off there, probably in protest at how slowly Gidman was going to his hundred
