Even last Saturday, ideal batting conditions, slow paced pitch, kookaburra ball we plodded along for most of the day at 2.5 runs an over and that was with two well set batsmen.
I will be very surprised if we don’t go down, I just don’t see how we are going to take 20 wickets.
To be fair, we're missing our first overseas quick through injury, and have another to return, which will help a bit...
And while we are poor, other teams like Lancs and Notts don't look great either.
Yes but, unlike Kent, the Lancashire Manchester Originals and the Notts Trent Rockets won't be getting a 100 point deduction for fielding 11 players will they?
I would just like to remind the Surrey supporters that you haven't won this game. Yet. For all that our players will battle to the bitter and may or may not manage to save this game, it is safe to say that you will not have an answer to one of Kent's well used and most powerful of weapons. Fanny and her dancing shoes.

This is genuinely one of the most demoralising games of cricket I’ve seen Kent play in a long time
I have the Kent v Surrey, the Bexley CC v Kent U18s live stream, the IPL match, the Blackburn v Wednesday game (to be replaced by the Everton game) all interjected by the afternoon's horseracing and on different devices. Losing in punting on the cricket, football and horseracing does tend to dilute the disappointment of our performance against Surrey!
We're not the only poor team. Lancs beaten in just over 2 days by Essex for example.
There's something quite bizarre about a county that has virtually a whole team on their books of internationals with the calibre of Anderson, Lyon, Buttler, Livingstone, Salt, Wood, Bruce, Mahmood, Jennings and Hartley, that is struggling as much as they are. Such are the times of central contracts and players chasing white ball money because only three of that lot are playing in the current game.
