    Passed by a Surrey fan on the way to the game a few minutes ago. That scoreline has cheered me up!
    As much as it is great news, Worcs are more likely candidates to be below us than Surrey. 
  • Not sure I can put myself with watching Somerset put it to the boundary every ball,  so off out to do some shopping. Real village bowling once again from everyone so far

    Muyeye us out for 9 to go with his first baller in the first innings. The bowler wasn't Archer but Campbell who I have been really impressed with - the left armer was released by Hants last season and has figures of 5-48 in the game to date.

    Seam bowling is a bit of a weakness at Sussex , if we don't have Robinson or Seales/ the other overseas seamers available there's not a lot of quality there.

    Archer's first spell was 6-1-11-1 which included a boundary off his first ball

    Renshaw gone - caught at mid on by Swanepoel off the bowling of Garrett. Poor shot

    75-2
  • i must say, I was expecting swanepoel to be quicker than what I have seen thus far. Not rushing the batsmen at all compared to the videos I saw on YouTube of him

    You probably saw him on much faster decks than this one. Even Archer isn't looking that quick.

    Swanpoel with a great ball has Umeed caught at slip by O'Riordan

    116-3

    To demonstrate how badly Stewart could have done with that wicket, his figures this season for the 1s and 2s are 85-17-278-0. I hope posting this will now get him a hat-trick!

    133-3 off 32 at lunch. Considering we've used nothing but seamers, the over rate is good.

    And there it is - bowls Lammonby some 60 plus runs after he was dropped

    Oh look, Kent have had to rely on O'Riordan's bowling, and it's been carted. Who could have foreseen this
  • This is beyond pathetic. Does anyone know if we are the county in division 1 who  have spent the longest on the field? Looking to be another 100 over plus this

    2s lost to Sussex by 26 runs. Archer bowled just the one spell of half a dozen overs. 
  • Well since I live fairly close went along today. Think that's the first time I've seen Kent in the flesh since 1970's at Blackheath. Somehow it felt like the cricketing equivalent of CAFC towards the end of the Appleton era (but four times longer). In ten or so years of watching games at Taunton never seen anyone score a hundred (though saw two Surrey players get out on 99 last year) until today 🙈

    Best thing that could happen is Surrey win tomorrow and then receive a 50 point deduction for a sub-standard pitch!

    Massive call to leave out Parky, especially with Leaning and his offspin missing. I'm assuming the pitch is much flatter than the one for Somerset's last match.

    Not great for Kent but 2 bowling points and 14 overs to get the 3rd.

    Need Crawley and Compton to earn their money too.

    I think this shows Kent's problems with financing recruitment.

    Why is there no charge for watching on stream ?

    Realistically I am rarely going to be able / willing to get to Canterbury for a day's play so its not worth me being a member. But I enjoy the stream and watch it quite a lot. I would be happy to buy a streaming membership at a reasonable price and thus contribute to the coffers.

    That Somerset figure is impressive, for a cricket county based in a relatively small town. And our attendance is higher than Warwickshire's!

    For all its history, the St Lawrence ground isn't ideally located, Canterbury is a small city, and away from Kent's largest areas of population.

    Stewart has got his ton up but at least he has 3 wickets. Rain delay earlier but Somerset 477-8 off 103.3 overs.

    498-8 off 110 overs so no more bowling points.

    Thrashing us about now 512-8. Only 4 bowlers discounting O'Riordan who went for 83 off 12 overs.
