It is ironic that I was bemoaning Muyeye's unsuitability as an opener (51 runs in 4 innings) only for Crawley to actually "outperform" him (67 runs in 6 innings). Only Singh and Agar are below Crawley in this season's averages.
Crawley is so frustrating.
When he gets in he is absolute class and few batsmen look better yet, far too often for a player of his pedigree, he gives it away early.
Some of these batsmen need to have a look at themselves in the mirror after the game is done. Very Shocking we are having to save the game like this on the final day against Worcestershire
Denly out LBW. Cometh the hour, cometh the Leaning..............
36-3
Or not. Finch is in.
Given the lbws in this match the Kent players all seem to be taking middle and off or off as their guard.
Anyone else noticed this?
It's a bit of a modern trend to do so. The logic is that you know that anything outside your eyeline you can leave. Most batsmen nowadays end up covering all three whatever guard they take which is as much a legacy of white ball cricket as much as anything else. That explains why we get so many LBWs nowadays as opposed to bowled. Simple in theory - just don't miss the ball.
Leaning must be thrilled that the rest of the batsmen are chipping in and working so hard to help after his heroics yesterday and today. real team effort this. Has the wicket disintegrated?

Kent 2s started a 4-day game against Sussex today with a side that included someone, who knocked around with Seb and Jas in Adelaide, by the name of George O'Connor. He was a bit expensive but picked up a couple of wickets with his pace and bounce. Whether it was George's presence in the side but he returned his best figures since the start of the season. Stewart, unfortunately, still hasn't managed to get his first wicket of the season. Sussex were 311 all out at close of play.

It appears that a certain England fast bowler, currently recovering from long term injury, might be appearing for Sussex 2s in their current game against us on Friday
Kent 2s 69-3 with Dawkins (19), Muyeye (0) and O'Riordan (10) the men out. A possible combination of poor decision making by both player and umpire resulted in Muyeye being given out LBW first ball - he shouldered arms to a ball that was too close to do that to but one where it looks like it was probably just missing anyway. It is what happens when you are struggling for form.

Wouldn't surprise me as I'd expect one of Crocombe or Hunt to be in the squad for the Yorkshire game , not sure if Robinson is cleared to play this week.

Good to see Qadri & Jas taking wickets & hope to see some decent runs from young Denly & Muyeye.
I suspect that Jaydn has been sitting exams because he didn't bowl yesterday and despite the fact we are 93-5 hasn't batted. He'll no doubt appear at some point in the game. Will Harby, a former Kent Academy player has come in.
Kent 254 all out. Severin top score with 74 (115) and Oliver Curtiss hit a run-a-ball 69 - who Seb played against on Saturday and is just a matter of 32 and 33 years younger respectively than his club mates namely former Kent cricketers Darren Stevens and Ben Trott

Must be great for a young prem cricketer to be able to learn from Stevo

Come on Kent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe they didn't want to overwork their bowlers, and get injuries.
