    Feel sorry for Riles after his 7 wicket haul. Clearly we believe that we need a five seamer attack and it isn't worth having the second spinner - just hope we haven't misread the track and it "turns" out like the one we prepared for the T20 QF against Lancs.

    Here we go again ...

    Who at the club decided that this season batting bonus points weren't important?!

    Sussex start this round of matches only 9 points behind us in the table despite us having won two matches more.

    I can see Kent hanging on to second place until the last two rounds of matches - Sussex will then beat Warwickshire and Northants whilst we lose to champions Warwickshire in our last match, missing out on second place by dint of having no batting points throughout the season.

    Come on Bilbo & co, prove me wrong and clinch promotion!

    Have we got any batting points at home this season at Canterbury? If not, hardly any

    The Canterbury pitches consistently seem to have been wrong for our needs

    I have to agree with you, but if you look at the season as a whole - Finalist in the 50 over competition, semi finalists in the T20 blast, 3rd in the ccc2. I think I would of taken that at the start of the summer.

    Almost, nearly, close but no cigar.

    Wasted season given the talent in the team?

    Given that we lost Captain Compass last winter because he wanted to move to a Division One side and put himself in the England shop window, wouldn't promotion give us more chance of retaining our better players?

    Just a point on Northeast.

    I would find it absolutely hilarious if Denly got an England gig this winter...

    I don't think either SNE or Denly are England quality Test batsmen

    Denly however has turned himself into a useful spinner, and on turning pitches this winter could be picked as a 3rd spinner/batsman

    It's very tight at the bottom of Div 1, Lancs, Hants, Yorks and Worc could all go down. Lancs 72-5 against Somerset in real trouble

    Billings is one of, if not, the best glove man in the country but he isn't going to get anywhere near the England Test side all the time he struggles with the red ball.

    Billings' average of 18 this season isn't uniquely poor as DBD (22), Rouse (17), Stevens (19), Crawley (24) and even the more "successful" Dickson (34), Denly (36) and Kuhn (37) are reflective of a batting strength that is really going to struggle if we do go up. And that is very much an "if" at the moment.

    Jeez.

    DBD the latest to have had enough of batting today, 106-7

    :disappointed:

    For a top 2/3 team it's shocking how far down you have to go to find Kent players.

    Not that surprising given good second innings totals are offsetting a pi55-poor first innings.

    Score update: those of a nervous disposition should look away now ...














    Kent 137 ao (47 ov), Henners and Ivan the terrible falling in successive deliveries.
