Jaiswal is going to be the best player in the world in very short order, possibly in all formats1

74-0 after 16 overs0

I'm afraid Cox has had a bit of a shocker dropping a flashing edge off Agar. His feet have not moved and as a result he has had to dive from a standing position and spilled it. Had he been doing the job, week in week out, he almost certainly would have taken it.1

Not sure what we have done in a previous life to have to end up having to support both Charlton and Kent7

It's a good job that we did all that white ball range hitting this week. That should stand us in good stead for the second innings.0

Subject to there being no more rain, play is due to commence at 5.15. Better late than never!1

And they are off again - for bad light. Hants are 8 runs ahead with 10 wickets in hand.

To be honest, kent badly need to learn a raindance - they were bowled out for under 100, and Hampshire got most of that on the same day without losing a wicket. This far it's a terrible preformance, and rain helping Kemt to an undeserved draw would be a huge plus.0
-
Tomorrow should be a much better day for batting, so expect Hampshire to build a massive lead0
-
They could probably declare tomorrow lunch time and have this done and dusted by close. Has Martin Sandgaard got in amongst the batting coaches at the St Lawrence?0

So why have a batting coach? I would say to actually spot faults that have crept in (for example the head falling over) rather than ones that are part of a batsman's make up. That coach is also there to help up and coming players in the Academy and those playing 2s cricket from the perspective of match management and also with the psychology of batting. Players who have been pros for a decade and/or already playing for England really shouldn't need an overhaul of their technique.
Finally, I will repeat what one county coach say a little while ago - "I don't care whether they look good and can accumulate runs, no batsman has a chance of getting in my U15 squad if they cannot play 360 degrees shots". You reap what you sow.

But most of Kent's players are better than what they are producing now. Denly, Billings, DBD, Leaning etc are all experience county pros, who SHOULD be scoring more runs than they are. I still think the dismal pre season didn't help.
And it's not as if our players are unique in having white ball affecting their technique. Other counties are scoring more runs.1 -

If we were to compare the way most of our youngsters learn to bat and the way they do in other countries it is totally different. Here we encourage them to hit the ball and sort the technique out later. In other countries they are drilled on technique first and then layer the other shots on top.
Look at last season's top run scorers and where those players learnt the basics:
1 Madsen - South Africa
2 Hameed - England but drilled by his father to bat the traditional way and spent time in India including 5 weeks in a Mumbai training camp as a 14 year old
3 Jennings - South Africa
4 Compton - South Africa
5 Northeast - England
6 Hain - Australia
7 Pujara - India
8 Masood - Pakistan
So only Sam Northeast is English taught but we also have to bear in mind that 410 of his runs for the season (more than a third) came in one innings.
The sad thing is that our batsmen will come good when we get roads and the sun as they have done in previous seasons. The trouble is that we don't actually play that many games at that time these days.1 -
The real question that needs to be asked and I’m not sure it has been answer, is how we ended up letting Somerset sign Matt Henry over us ? That has annoyed me to most about everything. Not sure I remember ever being this disillusioned about the club in general0

Possibly a promotion season to look forward to next year though0

I'm sure Martin Sandgaard's black box must have been the reason.1
