Great effort today, decent pitch too as there were plenty of runs but nearly a result. Indeed if we had bowled Surrey out for 50 less, we could even have won. Well maybe!
Well done...... but we really have to stop getting ourselves into these back to the wall situations.
Remember we are playing the big boys now. We arent playing the likes of Glamorgan, Northants or Worcester these days.
Just out of interest, if (and it’s a big if) Charlton win promotion to the Championship, do you expect Charlton to win most games?
No of course not.....what a strange question, why do you ask?
Wasn’t having a dig or anything, I ask because you expect Kent to win every match they play when the opponents are so much better
Do I.......you must be bloody kidding, I ‘always’ knew it was going to be tough going. What I was referring to was us getting ourselves into seemingly match winning positions only to fall apart and putting ourselves on the back foot..........something we have done on several occasions in the last couple of weeks, whether batting or bowling.
A profile of the late Brian Luckhurst, a lovely man and true gentleman I was privileged to meet more than once, which features our own Derek Ufton amongst others those 'of an age' will identify easily enough.

This one bit of commentary by Richie Benaud says it all so far as how times have changed "52-2 off 22 overs. A much more healthy looking scoreboard than earlier"

Dig deep and a draw must be our only target.
Kent need 118 runs to win
Other teams' tails wag more than my little Yorkie terrier (especially against us); a Manx cat normally has more of a tail wag than we do.
Over 1300 runs scored and 38 wickets taken.
So much for Kent's tail not wagging.
Huh.

May I just say that I played NO part in this steely performance from our lads and no dances of any kind were performed.
Not a bad start to the season in the 4 dayers...keep it up ,please.
While we want to do as well as possible, success for me would be staying up even if means finishing 7th

it's Surrey that should be relieved..
