This has been hilarious viewing this morning. Absolutely clueless stuff
The good news is that you'll be able to watch your mob next season playing us. Which begs the question why you are watching us instead of them?
Did you see what happened to us last game? Hard to stay invested in a season after that. I'll watch whatever I think the most interesting cricket is, and if that is Kent playing like idiots against a last wicket pair, so be it

I didn't see what happened to Worcestershire but have now reviewed the game. Always good viewing when you lose from a winning position to your nearest rivals.
Scriven (number 10) out for career best 99. Last wicket stand of 108. We need a very strong batting display now. To make matters worse, we put them in to bat! I think that may have been an error of judgement.
Here we go. Now let's get some decent batting points at least! It's a good job there is no relegation to Minor Counties otherwise we would be in big trouble. This is a real low point for Kent.
This is the list of those contracted players missing today for one reason or another - 15 in total and that's not including Stewart who might play no further part in the game:
Crawley (England) Benjamin (injured) Joe Denly (injured) DBD (injured) Leaning (not selected - totally out of form) Billings (white ball) O'Riordan (not selected - out all season and the signs are that he will be released) Flintoff (not selected - a way from first team action) Dudgeon (injured) Gilchrist (not selected - off to Warwickshire) Cohen (not ready after being injured for two years) Quinn (not selected - rested following a long term out injured) Kashif Ali (not selected due to being a somewhat disappointing overseas) Jas Singh (injured) Klaassen (white ball)
Ekansh falls straight after tea, caught chipping one to mid-on. He is one of those youngsters that can look in no trouble and then out of nowhere gives it up. That is the whole reason for playing him and the others in these games now. The 20s and 30s will, hopefully, become the 50s and 100s next year.
Glamorgan 2s 253-9 (effectively all out as one batter was absent). Mo Rivzi returned for Kent 21.5-2-90-7
Rivzi, ironically, has split his time this season between playing for both Glamorgan and Kent 2s
In Kent 2s current match against Warwickshire, Rivzi has returned combined figures for both innings of 48.5-6-163-9 meaning 16 wickets at 15.81 of the last 30 wickets we've taken.
