    Watching the almighty working-over Rehan is giving Compton is making me even angrier England didn't pick him
    How many did Compton get out for against him. The last ball I saw was a full bunger smashed for a boundary.

    168-2 and a third partnership of 50 plus. Another 7 of those and we'll have a first innings lead!

    He's 27 now and played age group cricket for Middlesex. He first turned out for our 2nd XI some six years ago and has played for any number of other county 2s as well as Loughborough, Hertfordshire and the South Asian Cricket Academy. No county carries more than a couple of frontline spinners these days and for that reason it must be incredibly hard to secure a contract with one. He's certainly given it a go. 

    As for the one day cup, I'm not sure that we would play him and Parkinson. Equally, Jaydn will be in the side as would Joe, if fit, so that would mean four players turning the ball the same way.

    Rivzi was also the not out batter in the first innings (73*) and is currently on 32* in the second so he can bat too.

    Leaning's ongoing struggles continue with 27 (34) & 9 (38) in this match. Meanwhile Rivzi was on 66* (87) before rain intervened.

    Apologies if I have missed this but there is a rumour that Sam Northeast might be returning to Kent. Anyone know anything?

    That rumour has been circulating for a while. Matt Milnes returning is another.

    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. 
    So, Rivzi took 9-163 in the match with 73* in the first innings and 100* in the second to take us home by 1 wicket. Would be really surprised if we don't sign him by the end of the season.

    It's been a persistent rumour for some time. 

    He'll be 36 in October - which looks a tad old to be re-building your side around. But I was looking at the case for signing him, Kent desperately need a bit of middle order ballast while a few players like Ekansh Singh, Jaydn Denly and Ben Dawkins - the next-gen batsmen establish themselves. Dawkins is making his FC Kent debut in this match but has played recently for England in a Youth Test against India and scored a hundred, Ekansh Singh also scored a hundred in the same match. 

    If there's one positive to Kent's season it's that they might as well blood these younger players, but it also means putting a lot of faith in three 19 year old kids who have less than ten FC matches between them, having someone like Sam Northeast around for a couple of seasons makes sense.

    Garrett out for 10 and Dawkins for 7

    249-5

    Compton 129*
  • Looking at the division 2 table, Glamorgan and Leicestershire both on course to get promoted. How times have changed

    Which suggests that Parkinson might not be playing in that competition because Rivzi is the better bat. It will also be an opportunity for us to look at him and potentially offer him a longer term contract.

    Indeed but better than the vast majority of days for the rest of the season in the CC. If we can get a draw then playing the youngsters will be even more justified.

    Good job we persuaded Compton to sign another contract!

    Maybe he was just saying it, but slightly odd in his end of play interview that Compton said that he was "fighting" for his contract. Surely, with the runs he's scored this year, it should have been the other way round?

    It might not be a new contract but the nature of the contract he wanted. Length of duration, salary but, perhaps, the most important thing of all for him might just be playing white ball. We will see soon as he was left out of the whole of the Metro last year and playing this year might have been one of the sticking points. He can't get in the T20 side without proving that he can do it for 50 overs. Sibley is someone who was previously written off and they are quite similar in the way they bat in the longer form of the game. Once you do get to play T20 then, all over a sudden, it then opens, potentially, other franchise opportunities albeit in their cases PSL rather than IPL.
