Agar has his second ever First Class 50. The partnership with Cox was exactly 100 for the 9th wicket and we need one run for a second batting bonus point
Sibley, in an attempt to force his way back into the England team, is demonstrating his very own version of Bazball - one run off 27 deliveries to date
Big Wes hasn't been a spectacular success in the way that say Matt Henry was but he's been a lot better than some of the overseas bowlers we've recruited in the last few seasons. He is our top wicket taken in the CC with 14 wickets at 25.42 compared to say, Hogan, who has 7 wickets at 62.77. He's now averaging 20.00 with the bat too which, for a number 10, is more than adequate.
Kent's forgotten white ball batsman, Alex Blake, scored 108 not out off 45 balls for Hayes against Kings Hill in a T20. For the club this season he has hit a total of 553 runs at an average of 61.44
Looking at the Kent age group scores over the weekend one thing really did disappoint me. County age group teams have started to play some 100 ball games!

Yep my mates son played two against Middlesex he's u15 and they got butchered , I think he said Middlesex got 210 and one kid 110 in the first match !

Just looked at the scorecards for those games - that Middlesex lad opened in the first game and got 37 off 16 and that innings that lasted 59 balls before Middlesex chased their target down. He was then "dropped him down the order" to 3 for the second match in which he scored 112 off 46 balls. So, out of 159 balls (26.3 overs in old money) that Middlesex batted for in the two games, that lad scored 149 runs in total off 62 of them leaving the rest of the squad to face 97 in total. One of his team mates batted in both innings - 0 not out off one ball in the first game and 1 not out off one ball in the other. That should put him nicely in form for the next match. Assuming that pad rash doesn't cause him to miss the game!
Prior to T20, county age group sides used to play 50 overs or, for the older ages, three or four day games. That allowed them all to develop as both batsmen and bowlers. When you play two 100 ball games that doesn't happen for most of the players. Why a player can't be retired in this shortened form of the game at 50 (and brought back later if 9 wickets fall) I really do not understand.
Just looked at the sky card, it’s say rain stopped play? Is that correct. Yes it is, apparently a torrential thunderstorm struck, hoping for an 11:45 start.
