I really genuinely think you guys should be looking at Stuart Meaker on loan. A genuinely quick bowler and wicket taker. Apparently he is over his injury problems.
He had a really good winter playing grade cricket in Aus and was even called up to the NSW state squad (but didn't play a game for them) so he definitely impressed out there.
Noises from Alec Stewart at the last members meeting that he is back to bowling at his best but is just a bit down the pecking order at Surrey now. He was in the squad for the one day game today and if injuries keep going the way they are then he may well get a go sooner or later. He needs to be playing to improve so everyone would benefit.
I would say the same about Matt Dunn but he is currently injured.

With Blake, Crawley and Dickson having to share 10 overs between them I'd take Derek Underwood right now.

At 74 or whatever he is that may be a stretch but I saw him in his sixties getting good club cricketers out playing for Old England. Same run up feet still at ten to two.
Just a couple of balls into Glamorgan's innings this morning, Bilbo suffered a serious shoulder injury trying to stop runs and is now off the pitch following a lengthy period of on field treatment including receiving oxygen.
Completely Charltonised this season with our injuries
The only (very small) consolation is that we're effectively out of the Royal London already so it's not as if we have anything to play for until the CC resumes on the 14th May
What in the world is Sam Billings doing at mid off instead of behind the sticks anyway?
To be fair he is probably jet lagged. He has also only kept once in the last 10 weeks and is recovering from his recent op necessary to remove splinters from his backside.

I've Been watching Kent for over 12 years and I can’t seem to remember a bowling line up so uninspiring.
Back injury apparently. It was Probably caused from all the sitting around he did in the IPL

Well, the answer is YES !

It's thought to be a dislocation.
I don't beleeeeeve it !!!!

Maybe it's time to put together a "walking cricket" team.
"Tavare, Benson, Knotty, Deadly, Cowdrey boys, Aravinda, Hooper, Martin vJ ... call your buddies, we're getting the band back together."

For clarification .
Kent's batting doesn't normally last that long anyway.
But as a guest on this thread I'm too polite to say so. 😋
Come on now. We are mid table in the CC1 and we are going to win the T2
Hate to say it but let’s face it, it’s pretty horrendous.
