He does have a strange action and it's one that has probably been his issue in being a success as it doesn't look one that is easily repeatable. He has had a bit of a nightmare season for both the Kent 2s and the Vine - overall, he's taken 10-374 in the KPL and an economy rate of 5.14 which rather demonstrates how much he has struggled. Ironically, he averages almost 43.20 with the bat for the Vine!

It's no surprise that his economy rate is high, playing at the Vine this year!

I had a real problem as he falls across the crease just as the ball is landing, obscuring my view. I told him after his first ball...I tried standing a bit closer to the stumps, then went right up behind the stumps (which sort of worked) but after one ball he asked me to stand back, so I went to my normal position and turned down any appeals that I couldn't see properly. He got annoyed with one LBW appeal, which I thought was a bit high; another may have been out but I couldn't see where it pitched so had to give it not out.  I gave one that I did see clearly. We spoke at the end of the innings and he was OK although he disagreed with me on most of my decisions!

The fact that Crawley played in the Hundred instead of for the Lions against South Africa tells us all we need to know about the ECB's priorities. But, if we do need to reinforce that, here is Downton's answer to the question about Leaning's participation for us:

 Can Kent players who are in The Hundred and not selected be made available for the Royal London Cup?

A: No, it is a condition of The Hundred playing regulations that players are not allowed to be released to play for their counties whilst the competition is still going on.

It is a pity as, for example, Jack Leaning has not been selected for the Oval Invincibles when he could have played for Kent in all five of our matches in the Royal London Cup.

Thats a joke. Surely they should be playing some cricket rather than none.

The computer says NO. 

Ha ha. Popped on here to get away from the England - SA test match as it looks as if our big impovement this summer maybe about to hit a wall. Sadly, as a Kent fan the summer never really began, and as far as I can see, the limit of our ambition maybe to get a couple of draws in the remianing Championship games to avoid relegation.
Of course we may go through the rest of the Yorkshire innings like a knife through butter, but at the moment it looks as if we will be chasing something implausible.

Just arrived, saw two wickets from Denly and now the covers are on. It's alright though, the BBC says they're is only a 1% chance of rain
