    Northeast's 410 must be one of the highest ever scores made anywhere ? .. certainly in England

    Still can't get over Surrey re-signing Sibley but understand that Ryan Patel is out of contract at the end of the season - would be a good recruit for us.
    Patel isn't going anywhere. Except maybe to number 3. Sibley is replacing Amla.

    The battle to avoid relegation looks like going down to the wire, like one of those PL season where the excitement on the final day is the battle to avoid the drop.  
    I haven't got a clue who is top. It's probably one of those counties who can afford to buy success.
    We have mote players from our pathway in both our 11 and our squad. Wind it in

    This modern obsession for having games in blocks, and 2 away CC games in a row (why?) means that Kent have no home games at all between the 14th July and the 7th August!

    Because if you didn’t have two consecutive games at home or away then you would never play a team twice in the season

    But's also down to how modern cricket is played in blocks, meaning that there are large gaps in the timetable.

    Especially at weekends. Play the CC games Monday to Thursday, but why not schedule something for Saturday, such as starting the 50 over a bit earlier, or spreading it across the season?

    Lancs 100-4, 3 wickets for Saini. An excellent decision to bring him

    143-8 All 4 wickets to Henry

    Billings has tested positive for Covid. Kent have been able to implement a "like for like" substitution with Robinson coming in. Except Cox has the gloves until Robinson arrives.  Cox has dropped one catch and almost spilled another and he will almost certainly be in situ in Billings' absence next season.

    Lancs 143-8, Matt Henry doing Matt Henry things this morning, with all 4 wickets to fall

    145-9

    5-15 for Henry this morning

    Imagine if we've had Saini and Henry all season

    A record 12 catches last week, catches Covid this week...

    I think Saini is the ideal foil. Henry isn't slow but it is his accuracy that allows Saini's raw pace to take the wickets he does. The two between them have taken 18-318 in just three innings for us this season.

    5-2 DBD gone

    I'm not sure that this is the greatest of wickets and is more in keeping with those produced in recent seasons

    Hope Robinson gets there in time to bat!

    I always womnder when kent take lots of wickets if the wicket is in fact to blame. After the Warwicks game, I'll wait and see if our batsmen can offer a bit of spine, but their 145 total suddenly looks a bit bigger than half an hour ago.

    12-3 Crawley out for a 27 ball duck. The same way he gets out so many times - clipping a ball to mid wicket but this time using his feet to do so

    Crawley averages 25.60 from 15 innings for Kent this season. He has a lifetime FC average of 29.80 from 147 innings and a Test average of 26.71 from 46 innings. 

    Those aren't small samples and Crawley would struggle to sustain a County contract with those stats let alone an England place. He isn't a red ball opener as he is simply too loose. He desperately tried to play for his wicket today but, in the end, reverted to type.
