Kent CCC 2016

Brilliant. Still unbeaten. And as long as we don't lose inside two days against Leicestershire we will go into June as such.0

Wow, what a turnaround, after Derby make 492 and we were struggling to make the follow on!
To bowl them out for 94 was outstanding in the context of the match, especially as most people would say that our bowling is weaker than out batting3 -

3 needed for Hampshire!
Tino Best got two wickets in his last over.0 -
Hampshire beat Notts. I see Chris Read didn't bat, there seem to be a lot of injury and other absences in this round of games0

It'll be typically Kent if we finish second this season and don't go up.0

Hey Callum, it will NOT be typical Kent if we finish second, that was back in the seventies. It would be typical Kent if we finish sixth. I'm still anmazed by today - when Derbyshire got skittled I naturally assumed the wicket had disintegrated (another 'typical Kent' moment) and we would get bowled out for 52. Not a hint, we have turned in a really great performance after a dodgy first day. Got to enjoy moment's like this

Kent are doing well for a change and it takes focus away from charlton pathetic which is also good. Kent have a good young team, who realistically are on England's radar?
Bell-Drummond - Must be next in line if hales fails
Northeast - I don't think he has consistently scored enough
Coles - lots of good young bowlers around so I'm assuming he is well down the pecking order
Riley - two years ago he was supposedly two years away from a test place. Two years on.... He is probably five years away0 - Sponsored links:

Worcs still unbeaten too. Don't get cocky, folks0

DBD must be nearest the team, he's been talked about for the last 2 years, but is now delivering, and bats in a problem position for England.Todds_right_hook said:Kent are doing well for a change and it takes focus away from charlton pathetic which is also good.

We've still got Billings to come back. I can't see him being picked for the Test team.0 -

I was playing a tennis match at Catford wanderers the other day and they had pictures of a young DBD there as he started out there.0

Indeed, this will be our top seven:killerandflash said:

Billings
Stevens
Not even a place for Blake although he will probably come in when Rabada plays instead of Latham. To think how poor we were this time last season when none of our top five were in any form with Stevens and Coles had to keep rescuing us with both bat and ball.1 -
Not sure whether we'll make both but definitely one of them.redman said:

Mind you, that's probably the kiss of death for our lot....

I'm joking. Kent are very much my second team, have a good young squad this year. I do hope you do well.Fanny Fanackapan said:

Should Billings walk straight back into the side. The young lad Rouse has done pretty well. As far as I can see he is joint top with the number of dismissals; however, a batting average of twenty is nothing to shout about.
I just wonder whether Sam arriving home with a bucket full of cash and good luck to him, should walk straight back in.
Morale seems to be high, it would be a shame to disturb it.
In saying that Billings is box office, so I am probably suggesting the unthinkable!

Billings auction price was £30k, it was low because he wanted the experience and not the cash.
Yes - he is a better batsman and will average more than 200 -
Correct, his fee was smallTodds_right_hook said:Billings auction price was £30k, it was low because he wanted the experience and not the cash.

Batting isn't a problem for us at the moment, but Billings could always play just as a batsman, like he does for England. I imagine his keeping skills will be a bit rusty anyway0 -
Leic won the toss and bat
9/1 Horton out.0 -
Make that 9/2 Robson out for 01
-
19/3 Dexter out0

And Billings is back and this is our top seven. With Hagget at 8, Coles at 9, Treders at 10 and Hunn last man in, that is one batting line up - on paper at least!Addick Addict said:

Stevens with two wickets and Coles with the other shows we're back to normal on the bowling front too.
