Joking apart, can you imagine what it must have been like to be an all rounder coming through the system at Kent. Stevens hits 30 and you're thinking that he'll only be with us for a few more seasons - and 15 years later he's still playing as well as ever!

There have been a few potential Stevo replacements down the years who've come and gone, when you think of the likes of Adam Ball, Callum Haggett, Will Gidman and Ben Harmison!
In reply to our 455, Northants are 301-5. Unusual at this time of year for over 750 runs to be scored for the loss of 15 wickets but it would suggest that there isn't a lot in the track.

Not a good sign when you use seven bowlers, with spinners Leaning and Denly both having decent spells
As an aside ladies and gents. If you access YouTube, search for Kent Cricket and about five frames across there is a "Conversation with Alan Knott". Great memories and great stories backed up with a fair bit of footage. I really enjoyed it . Quite recent, only nine months old.
Kent's 4 day game against Yorkshire has just started.
Yorkshire have included the likes of Root, Bess and Willey in their side whilst Kent have kept the same X1 that drew with Northants so have resisted the temptation of bringing back a fit again Kuhn or to play a front line spinner.
The slips look snazzy in their snoods, and bodywarmer trousers... Umpire wearing gloves...
Too cold for cricket!
Such are the consequences of having to fit the County Championship around The Hundred and the other white ball comps - 50 years ago, in 1971, the first CC game of the season started on 1st May not the 8th April. Coincidentally, that match was against Yorkshire too.
Our team that contained no less than five players who would play Test cricket for England, two West Indian internationals, a South African born Charlton footballer and one of the best fielders ever to represent us in the "shape" of Alan Ealham:

All the group stage 50 over matches will be played at Beckenham, with everything else it seems at Canterbury this season
Now let's win something this year !

Yorkshire won the toss and have elected to bat.
