Good result (in the end :-) ). Would have made them bat again, but keeps the pressure on the other two. Looks as if it's going to be an exciting season.
Aaah. That sprinkle of rain would have been due to my opening the previous day's paper to check on our match...
Can't believe I'm still capable of influencing Kent's fortunes , albeit from cloudy Tenerife !
Brings back memories of my worst episode of sunburn - as a naive 18 year old on my first holiday away with the lads I was fooled into thinking that the clouds would protect me against such an eventuality!
I thought there should be at least one 'thanks, Sussex' post tonight. Your rabbits did you proud today.
A very good batting performance. I notice that Notts had a relatively poor day as well, if neither Notts or Worcs were to win, that would be a massive bonus

From what I saw today, Worcestershire's bowling looked very ordinary. I'm surprised they have won 4 out of 4. Day 2 will tell us more.
Having had a quick look at the fixtures we only play Notts and Worc once each, both away back to back. Also I note the Worc game overlaps an England Lions game. I presume that DBD will not be playing v Worc.

It's a strange sport Cricket, the way international call ups and T20 tournaments can affect teams in potentially crucial matches. Notts for their current match are not only missing Jake Ball and Pattinson due to the CT, but also Broad as the ECB asked for him to be rested. While Kent have barely seen Billings in 2 months
I agree, @killerandflash. Teams that have players on the fringe of England have most problems, in my opinion. Yorkshire know they will hardly see Root - and, if they do, it's a bonus. If a player is on the fringe, it's hard to budget for a replacement. Imagine if this went on in football.

The matches against Worcs and Notts will be key.
Another great result in the proper format !!
