Well done Ekansh who has come in for Khushi in the squad. One would think that Finch, as the contracted player, will come in for him but you never know especially as Ekansh is an opener and given we are out, this is an opportunity to blood him.
Can’t fathom why Qadri hasn’t been given a go over Parkinson
Parkinson has been average in the CC but, statistically, he has been our best bowler in the Blast (most wickets with 11) and given that the only way we would have been able to sign him is to undertake to play him more often than not, I very much doubt that we will drop him.
As for Qadri, I'm starting to wonder if he's been told, as James Logan seemed to be, that he's going to be released at the end of the season? There might be a perfectly good reason for this but he hasn't played a Kent 2s game since 11th June (and there's been plenty of them) but did turn out for his club in Derbyshire on the 15th & 29th June. In fact, he hasn't played a competitive game for the 1st XI all season, didn't get a game in the Blast last season (has only ever played 3 T20s and taken 1 wicket) and is unlikely to play in the 50 over comp given Parkinson will be available, they will want to give Jaydn game time plus the alternatives of Leaning and possibly Joe in the side.
For those who care about such things, I'm the one on the right and I i inhabit Cupboard End Upper, block N ... if you see things pinned up on the back fencing on the right hand, that's me and grandson No 2 😀

At Canterbury a couple of weeks ago, Qadri and Jaydn were both doing some practice bowling on the outfield at lunchtime, though most people were more interested in some Burnley kid called J Anderson who was also doing some practice bowling!

I travel more in hope than expectation.

It's cloudy and a bit muggy although I diubt that'll have any bearing on the result because we're shite.
Your presence will make ALL the difference !
It's never made any difference in the last umpteen years I've been coming to this particular fixture so it sure as hell in't changing now!
50-1 after 6
I know that Chelmsford's a tiny ground but we've been carted round the park.
I have no hope that we can reciprocate.

Muyere and O'Riordan finally realising that that the boundaries are only 5 foot away.
