    Just seen the highlights of the last few overs and we nearly through it away due to some atrocious fielding by looks of it....hopefully will do better tonight.

    I wouldn't agree it was atrocious fielding.

    Somerset captain agreed they were not up to their usual standard in the field but both he & Bilbo "blamed" the wet outfield as well as the ball at times being called a bar of soap !

    It was a pressure cooker out there during those final overs & IMO, our lads couldn't have fought much harder for what was a very important win.
  • Just got off the train at Chelmsford from Norfolk.

    Lovely blue sky, a few light clouds.

    Forecast: Kent win.

    :smiley:

    Enjoy, BA !

    Come on Kent !

    Does anyone know which quarter final we would be in should we secure the home tie?

    I've tried to look it up but haven't found what the combinations are. Have booked a cancelable hotel in Brum for Sept 15 just in case though.

    Same team as last night.

    Kent win the toss and have elected to win.

    Sorry, Kent have elected to field first :wink:

    Four overs remaining in the Essex innings, 150-4.

    Big Mitch getting the latest wicket.

    172-5. 1.5 overs left

    Innings complete 201-6

    Essex hit 18 4s and 7 6s, probably only 4 of those off the middle of the bat.

    Lots of edges and streaky shots in the Essex innings, seems a below par total.

    Prediction: Spitfires to win by 4 wickets.

    10 an over is tough but let's see.

    4 overs 1-58 is not great Mitch!

    16-0 after 2 overs.

    More proper shots (and off the middle) in the Kent innings so far than in the Essex innings.

    Ian Blackwell is one of today's umpires.

    They say that inside every fat person there's a thin person trying to get out. In his case I think he's holding three or four hostage.

    Blimey, he's eaten a few pillows since retirement.

    Kent 35-0 after 4, Denly 13 DBD 22
