Kent CCC 2017

Canterbury is a great place to watch county cricket as is Tunbridge Wells; certainly far better than somewhere like the Oval.milo said:I haven't been to cricket in years but really enjoyed that despite the result. I fear I have unearthed a latent cricket-fiend in my son who watched the match in near frenzy and spent the entire drive home quizzing me on it - this was apparently to keep me awake but was having the opposite effect. He appears to have memorised the entire team and was giving me his in-depth analysis, haven't seen him like this since Charlton's 2012 promotion season. God knows what he'd be like if Kent had won.
T20 at Canterbury is a rather surreal experience - look one way and there's a a giant TV encouraging you to send your 'big screen selfies', Tshirts being thrown to the crowd, free hats and dance music, look the other way and there's a fella sat at a picnic table with his dog, smoking a pipe, half of ale, picking twigs out his beard.
As for the match we rather through it away after a good start. Billings should be dropped, either completely or at least batting 6 or 7, he is so out of form and his shot selection is dire. He tries all the fancy shots that may work when your in form but not on the form he is at the moment. He was out at Beckenham on a reverse sweep and last night seem to want he can play it from the off again - which he couldn't.
On the positive side was very impressed with the spinner Quayum.3 -
To be fair to Billings, following his stints with the IPL and England, he has become one of, if not the, best drinks, towels and gloves providers in the country.redman said:

I noticed Riley was playing for the seconds, is he still not fit or just behind Quayam at the moment?redman said:

Tredwell is an off spinner like Riley Quayam is a slow left armer so presumably they went for variety.killerandflash said:

Thanks for that, @killerandflash.

I'm sure Riley and Tredders have both played together before? It's not like a CC game, where they might be bowling long spells anywayLenGlover said:

Quayam did well, it'll be interesting who is dropped when Milne returns0 -
Absolutely loved him as a player, but I wish he would go back to selling chips.SoundAsa£ said:Flintoff needs to slow down with trying to a be a comedian/Mr Life and soul of the party, who has a funny light hearted quip about everything that unfolds. There's only one Bumble......and he does it with classy controlled style.
He also needs to calm down in his delivery and not sound so excitable and loud. I was both irritated and embarrassed by his OTT "persona"........which came across as being palpably manufactured for the occasion.
We were shyte by the way.......funnily enough the moment Denly went (cheaply by his current standards), I started to have my doubts.1 -
Oh they have played together but Tredders' England pedigree plus theoretically better batting will get him the nod above both of the other two in one dayers unless he completely loses form.killerandflash said:

Listening to Adam Rouse on Radio Kent Quayyum has been bowling well in the 2s whereas Riley still seems to be recovering from the abuse of his action by the England coaches a couple of years ago.

It was unusual for us to play Tredwell and Riley in the same T20 side in previous seasons simply because we usually had Cowdrey in the side as an alternative.killerandflash said:

To be fair, Cowdrey was pretty rubbish though. He might have the name, but was a mediocre cricketer, neither one thing nor anotherAddick Addict said:
