    152-7 off 20 so we win by 23 runs. A decent all round performance.

    Well done Kent!

    Seems like a highly competent, professional performance all round.

    Despite Nabi being stumped first ball tonight, I believe that he may prove to be one of our best overseas signings for T20. He gives us balance and with the possibility of Denly coming back to strengthen the batting further (should he not make the Ashes team) we have every chance of going all the way. That also assumes that Billings doesn't return soon.

    Oh ye of little faith.....

    It was a glorious evening , both weatherwise & on the pitch.

    I LOVE this squad of players ! A real team in all senses of the word with everyone playing their part.

    OK, we dropped several skied catches but to have taken them would have only meant winning by a bigger margin & TBH, Essex never looked up to it tonight. Our fielding is top class and on many occasions their batsmen didn't dare try for a 2nd run ...and it made a huge difference in the result. 

    We'll be watching the Oval match on Tuesday via Sky as have family duties until teatime but a dear fellow Addick is taking us to Lords on Thursday so a week to look forward to indeed.

    Could we still be unbeaten by this time next week ?

    What an excellent season this is turning into. If you’d offered me a (fairly) comfortable season in the County Championship and some enjoyable performances in the T20, I would have bitten your hand off.

    Not just that but some of the younger guys are really coming into their own with the step up too.

    Super Joe top-scored in the first innings and was sacrificed in the most disgraceful fashion by the skipper in the second. That was straight out of the G Boycott training manual: "I've never been run out but a lot of the batsmen I partnered were."

    For that act alone he should keep his spot in the XI but factor in Root not wanting to bat in the top three, only at four, and that should make Joe's spot secure for a couple more Tests at least.

    I suppose there's a chance he might have a crack at opening for England if Burns and Roy make a pig's ear of things.

    He can also provide the option of a bit of leg spin which could be called upon as a partnership-breaker or just to give the seamers a breather.

    No spare batters.  I don’t think he’s up to it but i’m Convinced that only Root and Stokes really are

    I need something to lighten my mood. 
    I tried black currant picking, worked for a bit. 
    I’m off out for ‘walky talky Tuesday’ with my fellow West Cork ladies, that should help. 
    But another Kent win would definitely do it :smiley:

    The rain will save them from another defeat to Kent though. Indeed Alec Stewart is out there with a hosepipe to make sure!
