Gilchrist is in line for the mother of all TFCs (thanks for coming)Briston_Addick said:Meanwhile ...
Parkinson is making the ball talk out there - he bags a fiver-fer (19-9-37-5) as he bamboozles Gilchrist who departs for a 13-ball blob.
200-9.
Run out for a duck in the 1st innings
Didn't bowl a single ball in Leics' innings and didn't contribute in the field with a catch or run out
Out without troubling the scorers in our 2nd innings too
As they say in the trade, I just hope he ate his lunch and tea nicely!2 -
Bad light (apparently) stops play with Kent 210-9 (God 55*, Logan 4*), 333 ahead, and 22 overs left in the day (only Day Two, don't forget!).
The tractor has brought out the covers but the umpires have left the stumps in the ground ... for now.
End of play for today? Who knows.
EDIT: Yep, that's stumps.0 -
I hadn't realised he's the twin brother of Matt Parkinson (England and Lancs)Briston_Addick said:Meanwhile ...

Callum is a SLA, Matt a right arm leggie.0 -
After adding to his overnight score , with mainly 6's, Stevo finishes the innings on 107 not out.
Kent all out for 262 with a lead of 385.
No rain dance for Fanny required ( hopefully!) but weather now looking to play its part anyway.....4 -
262 all out and a lead of 385
The "one and only" ended up 107 not out including 13 fours and 6 sixes!0 -
67 ball ton, that's ridiculous, especially in the context of the match
Leicestershire releasing Stevo was almost a bad a decision as that guy from Decca Records who rejected The Beatles

Gotta love that man4

I've been in meetings this morning so I've only just caught up with this morning's play.
Looks like the Lord God Stevo is making a push for a place in T20 Finals Day.2 -

3-1
Whisper it but there might be a team in the CC that is actually worse than us!
4 -
Make that 3-2
One each to Milnes and Stevens of course2 -
5-3
Another to Milnes2 -
5-3
Milnes with a second wicket courtesy of a wonderful worm-height catch at slip by Crawley.
Two subsequent boundaries in the over takes the score to 13-3 after 9 overs.
There's a sneaky chance we might have the upper hand in this match now ...3 -
Three wickets for Matt Milnes as Kimber is castled.
17-41 -
Oof!
Swindells was unsure where his off stump was there.
Hint: It's now cartwheeling about 6 yards behind you.
17-5, another wicket for Milnes (5.4-4-6-4)2 -
17-5
4th wicket for Milnes from an extremely ill judged leave
Leics are truly awful2 -
19/5 off 11overs.
Leicester need another 367 off 171 overs.0 -
Yes Leics aren't very good, but it's frustrating that we're showing form when it's too late and stuck in the dregs section of the CC1
-
Stevo is amazing. I wonder if his more gung ho/relaxed approach is due to mental attitude in that it's all a bonus and he has nothing to prove or lose?4

20-6
5-8 for Milnes from a strangle down the leg side3 -
Really not sure why they've taken lunch. Surely the Umpires could have kept them out for another 10 minutes and the players could then have spent the rest of the day with their feet up!3
-
If you're a bowler you'd be embarrassed to take a wicket with that ball, well down leg side.
However, if the batsman is stupid enough to get a tickle on it you just have to accept it.
Milnes bags a five-fer (5-8 if you don't mind) and Leicestershire are 20-6 at lunch.
Who said Fox hunting was illegal? No-one told Matt Milnes or God ...4 -
Imagine you're a young wicket keeper/batsman at Kent with pretensions of making it in the game. Then imagine you're watching today's play and you see England international Sam Billings (30) with the gloves, former England U19 keeper Jordan Cox (20) standing at first slip and former England U19 and England A keeper Ollie Robinson (22) standing at 3rd slip!

"Get a bigger slip corden!"1 -
There again you might have been a young seamer a decade ago at Kent, eager in the knowledge that the 35 year old bloke opening the bowling only had a season or so left in him!!!!Addick Addict said:Imagine you're a young wicket keeper/batsman at Kent with pretensions of making it in the game.

Fanny's a tad concerned.
Is the Tingle solely for Charlton related issues ?1 -

Clearly Gilchrist did eat his lunch nicely because he's been rewarded by coming on to bowl first changeAddick Addict said:
