Hmmm.Briston_Addick said:50 partnership up.
97-1 at half-way, Essex were 101-3.
We're in a good position ...
... to stuff it up again in the last three overs.
Wasn't a million miles off with that last-line prediction.
Deja-vu all over again.0 -

Damned sight cheaper than travelling to Kent matches.

Surely Stevens would have made a better contribution in the last three pressure games when pace off seemed to do better than pace on. Viljoen went for plenty in the last three games. Hindsight, I know and he hardly featured for Derbyshire but we missed a wiser old head in these pressure games. After 35 years of watching Kent, I can only think of a handful of games we have held our nerve. Worcestershire last year in the 50 over tournament and the 20/20 win in 2007. Winning big games is not in our DNA in recent decades....1

Next year's of course seeing that they are out of this year's already

We're in the 'nice' section not the Whitley bit! I guess it is all relative

Clutching at straws with Steveo I fear. Actually played 4 games for Derbyshire averaging 10.33 with the bat and had bowling figures of 4-0-43-0. When you add to that you have to try to hide a 43 year old in T20 and you have to come to the conclusion that he wouldn't have been the solution.Cajetan said:Surely Stevens would have made a better contribution in the last three pressure games when pace off seemed to do better than pace on.

We simply weren't good enough especially in the bowling department. Nabi's untimely departure and the loss of Milne was massive and there is no doubt that we would have got over the line had we been able to play in either in one of those close finishes against Surrey, Gloucs or possibly even tonight.0 -
Thanks for the memories Faf...7

My Essex supporting son was buzzing with this result and them qualifying .
I’d already written them off and told him they won’t get through even if they win cos Glamorgan had to win their first match in 14 (4 no results they’d had) for it to happen ....and they did!
Luckily for me I don’t support any county cricket team .
I’ve never felt an allegiance to anyone .
Being a South East Londoner I liked Surrey and Lords cos I’d been to their grounds as a youngster , Essex cos of John Lever , Kent cos of Alan Knott , Warwickshire cos of Bob Willis , Notts cos of Derek Randall etc etc
I save all my irrational passion and love for The Addicks .

What I’ve learnt from the last 3 games is that Kent aren’t very good at chasing totals0

To be fair both of Essex games against Glamorgan were rained off1

no idea where kent go from now. that bowling line up last night would have looked out of place in the kent league. you're telling me stevens wasn't good enough to play last night?? find it so strange there wasn't a single overseas bowler out there.

seems about right. I thought we were good at defending totals earlier. However that option was severely dented with the injury to Milne. I don't think the current bowling line up could defend a total.Todds_right_hook said:What I’ve learnt from the last 3 games is that Kent aren’t very good at chasing totals0 -
3 of the 4 quarter finals won by the team from the Northern group. But good win for Essex over Lancashire who won the group comfortably0

How much did it hinder them playing at Durham instead of Old Trafford?0 -
Back to the county championship soon.
I hope we don't seize relegation from the jaws of survival which we equivalently managed when we failed to qualify in the T 20.
Other than avoiding relegation, I just want to see Darren Stevens pick up 8 more wickets in our remaining fixtures to give him 500 first class wickets for Kent before he leaves us at the end of the season. He deserves that achievement.6 -

Mitch Claydon to join Sussex next year. I guess he can fill in when Jofra is away 0 -
Jofra won't be playing for Sussex much next year. heavy international calendar with 6 test, 5 ODI's and 6 T20's. In the 2 week gap end of July I suspect he will be playing for Surrey or Hampshire in the 100.0

Mitch was a good servant but if we do have serious ambitions to progress we need better.killerandflash said:https://www.kentcricket.co.uk/news/claydon-to-join-sussex-next-season/

I wish him all the best though he had his good moments for us over the years.3 - Sponsored links:

Stevens and Claydon have combined ages of over 80 and time for us to bring on the younger generation. Really surprised that the latter, in particular, has been able to secure a new contract.
Wish them both the best.1 -
Billings*, Bell-Drummond, Claydon, Cox, Crawley, Kuhn, Milnes, O’Riordan, Podmore, Rayner, Robinson, Stevens squad for the game tomorrow. interesting to see no dickson in the squad. Think apart from the beckenham knocks, he has struggled to make any runs this season

(1) Claydon and Stevens in the squad and potentially playing what might be their last games for the county
(2) Just the 4 keepers in the team?
(4) Darren Stevens was 25 years old when Jordan Cox was born. Prior to them both playing together previously, I wonder if we have ever had such a big age gap in a First Class match.0 -
Hadn't noticed Dickson had been left out.

Frank Woolley and Doug Wright was 27 years age difference. There could be more from the old days.Addick Addict said:

I agree but if not him then who? Does Cox open? Bit risky given his inexperience though.killerandflash said:

DBD would be and no inside knowledge (honest!) but Ollie Robinson scored a very good, by all accounts, 130* opening for Bexley on Saturday so is it possible that he might be given an opportunity? If Cox was in the team then Ollie wouldn't necessarily have to keep either.LenGlover said:
