I have to admit Kent performed far better in the county championship than I thought they would. 
Well done all.

But sell our club and fuck off??

If you are referring to Roland 
Yes

Surprising,  but a quality player

LenGlover

Just give Darren Stevens another year. He already has 43 wickets at 19.00 with more games to play and has scored 322 runs at 21.47 when batting badly. There are specialist batsmen with contracts who have not done a lot better in recent seasons.

Kent win the toss and bat first

57-5, Faf out for a duck, with fellow Saffer Duanne Olivier getting 4 of them!

redman

looks like a bad decision to bat first?

Addick Addict

112-5

Stevens (51*) giving another nudge to the contract decision makers! Billings is 33*

It certainly seems like tough conditions out there first thing. Maybe Billings was influenced by Tim Payne's mistake at the Oval!

LenGlover

184-5 Stevens 85* Billings 66*

Stevo is a god!

000__Jaaaaay__000

100 FOR STEVO!!!! they cant let him go now. SURELY !!! What a man. 

Addick Addict

Simon Cook is re-joining as specialist bowling coach. We are also hiring a full time batting coach - wonder if Trott is in the frame for that gig.

LenGlover

We have a batting point!!

Stevo 98*

Addick Addict

210-5

Which sounds infinitely better than 39-5

wmcf123

Typical that Darren (God) has remembered how to bat in September . What a great player 

LenGlover

Ton for Stevo!

210-5

Stevens 106* Billings 71*

How old was Ramprakash when he hit his final ton? Got to be the oldest Championship centurion since (I'll guess here) Kim Barnett?

Leuth

Older than both. This would make a good quiz question...

Trescothick?

Leuth

Nah, he's older than Trescothick.

Shiv Chanderpaul might be the answer if he hit a ton last season mind you

Leuth

He didn't. 

Really curious about this now!

Briston_Addick

When Methuselah was a lad he used to watch Lord Stevens bat ...

You're a Worcestershire man.

How old was Hick when he finished? Well into his forties from what I recall.

LenGlover

Kick is of course Hick!

Leuth

Hick was 42 

Briston_Addick

Oldest Test centurion: Jack Hobbs 46 years 82 days

Leuth

Gooch was 44 in his final season but didn't hit a ton...

Addick Addict

Jack Hobbs scored a Test hundred when he was 46. He hit 199 First Class tons so I suspect that he would have been older than Stevens to do so

Edit - B A beat me to it!
