Heard a rumour yesterday from someone I'd met for the first time. Really not sure this has any legs whatsoever but the rumour is that Grant Stewart (not sure why he isn't playing today) is off to Sussex at the end of the season (that wouldn't surprise me so much) and a former Kent Academy player is returning to Kent - the other Ollie Robinson (that would surprise me)!1

Good job we won the toss and put Surrey in because we might not have been in such a strong position had we elected to bat!1 -

445-5 at close. Who would have thought that The Oval would be a road? Certainly not Leaning at the toss.0

Played for their seconds to get some mileage in his legs and has had a few injuries on top of each other so
this season bit of a write off for him.0 -

A humiliating day being a Kent fan. Sloppy fielding, no energy and Singh is a club bowler at best. Woeful performance and put to the sword by Curran at the end.1

According to The Cricketer, a "rookie contract", for an 18-21 year old, is £18K. That's not £18k a week as a 19 year old Premier League footballer might earn who might never gets to kick a ball in anger at that level but £18k a year. That is why the average age for a County cricketer retiring is 26. Because so many of them don't make it and are better off finding a job that pays that doesn't leave them subjected to the sort of abuse on social media Singh received following his Blast debut. The time for reflection and self criticism, away and alone in a hotel room, is also the reason why cricket has the highest rate of suicide of any sport. It really isn't as glamorous as some people, especially those coming through the County age group system, think.
It is much easier to pick on the rookie because he hasn't achieved anything in the game - hopefully Singh will. But he might not. Time will tell.

Do feel for Singh, clearly not ready to make the step up but with our options so light, he is having to be drafted in.The whole bowling unit needs to be looked at this winter, everyone apart from milnes and Gilchrist should be released or replaced in my opinion. Big winter for the club as a whole, this season is probably as bad as I can recall in my 20 years of watching, not sure about anyone else.1

You learn more from when things go wrong or are tough for you.Am sure Jas will benefit from these games in the long run.You can’t expect him to come in a 7th choice quick and be on same level as those he is replacing1

Stevens appeared to be twelfth man yesterday. If he is fit why on earth wasn't he playing?
The decision to bat, knowing the Oval is a road and our attack is under strength, was ridiculous. Apart from Milne, who beat the bat, particularly Geddes's, every bowler was below par.
Only Henry can stave off relegation based on the rubbish I saw yesterday.0 -

We lost Bird through injury and now have Stevens, Gilchrist, Podmore, Quinn and Stewart all out - that's six of our seamers .0 -
This is actually getting so embarrassing that I have had to turn it off. As I said the other day, Linde has been very underwhelming and do wonder if it’s worth getting him back next season0

Have Surrey batted too long ?Nearly over 550 now, in a 4 day game, on day 2, against what is clearly a very poor Kent side
They could have declared last night, and we still wouldn’t have a cat in hells chance of beating them0 -
Just watched a bit of it.. Curran was certainly batting well..0

For those that are interested the 2s are playing Durham and have them 25-2. Mickey Edwards, the Australian who plays for St Lawrence and who has already picked up 32 wickets in the Kent League has figures of 1-19 and Seb's mate and fellow Bickley Park player has 1-0 off 4 overs. Link to the game:
