My fault again - Stevens out0 -

Chopping and changing teams like that is setting him up nicely for a career in franchise white ball hit-and-giggle-whilst-taking-the-money cricket when he does finally make the breakthrough into senior cricket.Addick Addict said:Here's a funny one but, perhaps, a symptom of how things work these days in 2s cricket. It's always been a case that a player might trial at one county and then if things don't work out they will then trial at another.
However, there is one player turning out for us today who so far this season has played:
2nd June - Essex 2s v Surrey 2s
3rd June - Kent 2s v Sussex 2s
8th June - Essex 2s v Middlesex 2s
10th June - Kent 2s v Essex 2s
13th June - Kent 2s v Surrey 2s
5th July - Durham 2s v Kent 2s
Poor bloke plays one day for Essex then the next for Kent. He also faces twice in the space of two weeks against Surrey for two different counties. Then, having played all his games either side of the bridge he's called up by Kent to play in the other end of the country!
Such are the "trials" and tribulations of a player trying to secure a pro contract.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/57716431England seamer James Anderson took his 1,000th first-class wicket as Lancashire triggered a Kent collapse at Emirates Old Trafford.
Anderson took a wicket in each of his first three overs, then added four more in his 7-19 as Kent slumped to 34-8.
Bowling, appropriately enough, from the James Anderson End, the 38-year-old fast bowler claimed his best figures at Old Trafford.
He beat his previous Manchester best of 6-49 against Worcestershire in 2004.
But, after taking the first five wickets to fall, Danny Lamb wrecked his chances of taking all 10, by getting the wicket of England batsman Joe Denly.
Anderson's 1,000th victim was South African Heino Kuhn, caught behind by skipper Dane Vilas.
England's all time top Test wicket taker was finally taken off after an opening 10-over spell with figures of 10-5-19-7.
There's something wrong with that first line from the BBC report.
It should read:
England seamer James Anderson took his 1,000th first-class wicket as Kent triggered a Kent collapse by starting their innings at Old Trafford.2 -
74 all out - let’s see how our bowlers do - I’m not holding my breath0

I can see an innings defeat heading our way.

Anderson’s good but wait until the god that is Stevo comes out to bowl before before jumping to any conclusions……3

When does the T20 restart?6 -
Therein is the problem. As I mentioned before with regard to Crawley's Test woes, constantly throwing your hands in T20 does not prepare him for what he will face at the highest level in red ball cricket which is all about shot selection and playing the ball as late as possible and under the eyes. The best shot of all is the "leave" but, with all due to respect to Sibley, you do have to have one or two shots.Briston_Addick said:We've got Lanky Lanky rattled: 31-0 after 6.2 ov ...

Lancs 108-5 at stumps, a lead of 34.

Hants (understandable, given they were playing the Slurry Brownshorts) and Somerset notwithstanding those are some pretty ordinary batting totals.
The question is: how many of these low totals can be attributed to pitch and atmospheric conditions? How many are due to players having just played a decent stint of 20-over cricket and haven't been able to adapt mentally to the longer (and purer) form of the game, resulting in them throwing their bat at everything and giving their wickets away?2 -
Conditions play a massive part and when the CC is played is a reflection of the disdain the ECB now have for the longer form of the game. It is unusual to have April conditions in July but when you've already played half the games in the CC in the first two months you reap what you sow.Briston_Addick said:Lancs 108-5 at stumps, a lead of 34.

It's also the fact that they don't play and train with bowlers the calibre of which they would do decades ago. The art of knowing where your off stump is and which ball to play has gone out of the window simply because in white ball cricket the idea is to play each and every one.

Phew !
Was out all afternoon so didn't see the call to arms until around 5pm.
But, thankfully, our plight was not quite as dire as it seemed at the time.
I'll be more on the ball tomorrow, promise.....
...in the Jimmy Anderson manner.0 -
It was an "interesting" call from Joe Denly, stand in captain, to invite a certain bowler to take his 1,000 wicket in optimum bowling conditions1
-
We're back out there and a wicket to Stevens
119-61 -
Just watched that last wicket. It was so Stevens. Bowls a couple of out swingers, then throws another wide one that the batsman assumes is going the same way so he leaves it but the ball jags back two feet to take his off stump.0

and here comes the big lower order stand - sigh

Addick Addict said:Addick Addict said:Sam Northeast has left Hants by mutual consent and joined Yorkshire on a short term contract. After that he will be a free agent. Wonder if his fall out with Kent will be buried with a possible return to us? This will almost certainly be Kuhn's last season as he is now considered to be an overseas player and Northeast wouldn't be the worst replacement.
Northeast made 3 on his debut for Yorkshire
Followed up with 1 in the 2nd innings, Can imagine those understanding Yorkshire folk cutting him some slack and I expect that they are looking forward to seeing him bat in their next match.0 -
It's Tea so I am going to predict a wicket within 3 overs of the resumptionMrOneLung said:and here comes the big lower order stand - sigh0
