Do Kent perceive Surrey as their biggest rivals? I would say Sussex see Surrey as their biggest rivals, although those living on the Sussex/Hampshire border seem to see Hampshire as the rivals. Strangely, Sussex fans don't seem to see Kent as rivals.LenGlover said:

I think the Kent and Sussex are friendly rivals and Kent see Surrey as their foes simply because there is a lot of "cross fertilisation" across the Kent/Sussex borders with some Clubs playing in the other county's Leagues and also kids going to school in one and playing cricket in the other especially so in the Tunbridge Wells area. In fact, I know of several cases (admittedly boy/girl) where, in age group cricket, one sibling plays for one county and the other plays for the other.thai malaysia addick said:

The other reason for the antagonism towards Surrey rather than Sussex is that the former tends to buy their young "players" whereas Kent/Sussex can't afford to do that!0 -
The Sydney Sixers have signed Joe Denly in the BB for when Roy leaves for England duty along with Billings. They've lost every game so far so Joe isn't exactly under massive pressure to perform.

I imagine that might depend on which bit of Kent you're from. If you're from the London end then Surrey are far closer. Indeed to me Essex are bigger rivals than Sussexthai malaysia addick said:

For me, the Kent rivalry goes Surrey then Essex.
With Sussex no different to the other 15 counties.0 -

1) Surrey 2) Hampshire 3) The rest0 -
For me, it was MUCH easier to get a 53 bus from Plumstead Common to the Oval rather than schlepp it all the way to Tonbridge/Canterbury/maidstone, therefore Surrey it was for me.
I'm sorry we have much more money than Yaow. Apologies.
Its definitely the cricket equivalent of Millwall (Kent) v Charlton (Surrey), after all, 1) We never beat Kent 2) Millwall don't come from the Old Surrey Road 3) The Valley is much closer to the Oval (9 miles) than Canterbury (73 miles) and 4) The only crowd problems we have at the Oval is when the Kent caravans arrive in force.0 - Sponsored links:

The only notable rivalry we have is with Middlesex.1

At least we don't have dirty great big gas holders as a backdrop on our ground - reminds me of dirt, grime and pollution. And also probably explains why your traditional club colour is brown!The_President said:For me, it was MUCH easier to get a 53 bus from Plumstead Common to the Oval rather than schlepp it all the way to Tonbridge/Canterbury/maidstone, therefore Surrey it was for me.

But then Kent also play elsewhere in the county. These days Beckenham, but in my youth I remember watching a game at Hesketh Park Dartford!The_President said:For me, it was MUCH easier to get a 53 bus from Plumstead Common to the Oval rather than schlepp it all the way to Tonbridge/Canterbury/maidstone, therefore Surrey it was for me.

I think you'll find that it's Charlton & Kent (e.g. club legends Ufton and Leary), which means that Surrey should be linked with a Surrey football club, i.e. Crystal Palace

Sid O'Linn and, I think, Fred Lucas also played for Kent. I am pretty sure I saw Fred Lucas hit a big score for Blackheath CC in not many balls - I'd go for 150-ish in no time.0

Peter Croker was born in Surrey.

I must admit both my brothers and my dad (rip) and pretty much all my mates are Kent.
But my son has seen the light and is Surrey.
You can't beat a one day game at the oval Surrey v Kent
Love it1 -

Yeah me too, aside from half the crowd (Kent) not having the slightest idea about cricket and just getting smashed out of their boxes(on 3 per cent lager) and parking their caravans in our cul-de-sacs.blackpool72 said:I must admit both my brothers and my dad (rip) and pretty much all my mates are Kent.

I've got visions of Riv walking around The Oval at a 1 day game mooning at everyone with a tattoo of Geoffrey Boycott on one cheek and WG Grace on the other.0 -
Brett Lee (in discussion with Michael Vaughan on the BT commentary last night) gave some really good analysis on Tom Curran's bowling, and why he's not as fast as he could be, with a lack of leap at the point of delivery, and the left arm not driving through. Boycott who followed on commentary was really impressed with Lee's analysis
Typical jammy Surrey, even the Aussie commentators are helping their players!0 -
Kent's first fixture of the 2018 season is a friendly against Hampshire at Canterbury on........15th March!
Don't think they've thought this through as it clashes with Cheltenham....0 -
