I see that Surrey and Middlesex are selling T20 tickets, but Kent aren't. Does anyone know why, and when Kent might put theirs up for sale?
I received this email from Kent dated 12th March
The Club is currently working on a number of capacity scenarios to ensure that we are able to safely welcome as many Kent Cricket supporters back to watch live cricket as soon as guidance allows us to.

Kent are playing a two day friendly starting today against Middlesex at Merchant Taylors School. Day one - Middlesex will bat for a maximum of 60 overs with Kent due to receive 30 overs.

They're playing 12 a side and it looks like we've taken seven seamers and no spinners - a reflection of when the CC is played and the prevalent conditions. And we wonder why England struggle to produce top class spinners!
Difficult to understand why these two didn't retire at 50 given the number of balls and bowlers they've faced
Both "retired out"on those scored following a rain break. Gubbins, no doubt suffering from a bad case of early season pad rash, was then out 3rd ball for a duck - LBW to Stewart
DBD & Cox opening followed by Crawley, Denly, Leaning and Robinson. Looks a good top 6 on paper especially when one considers that Billings and Kuhn are missing
Lovely ground; used to play there each year. Such a good wicket that we switched to all day games starting at 11am, with lunch and tea breaks. Still never had a game with 20 wickets!

Seb is potentially playing there for Kent U18s against Middlesex on 2nd May. He's played against them there three times and he's hardly scored a run. In fact, I can't recall us getting more than 150 but I should stress that those games were when they were younger and they were never played on the main square - usually very early in the season when the rain had got to the wicket too.
One season, next door on the main square, the year above were playing with Michael Atherton's son captaining Middlesex and the son and grandson of Mark and Alan Ealham respectively was skippering us.
We currently have batting M Player & N Player. Who look remarkably like Zac Crawley and Jordan Cox. In fact they are Zac Crawley and Jordan Cox though quite why they aren't named as such is a bit of a mystery.
A certain former England captain and record run scorer out LBW for 10 to Podmore. To be fair to Cook, he walked off even before the Umpire put his finger up!

The priority window is open until 31st March so I expect they will start selling them after that date
