All of a sudden our bowling unit looks OK. With the likes of Kashif Ali, Cohen, Quinn, Agar, Garrett and Parkinson all to play their part, hopefully we will this season consistently bowl teams out thus negating the need for big scores from our batters.
Batting performance in the first innings doesn’t look so bad now
It wasn't a minefield but you did have to apply yourself - in all four innings someone managed to reach 50 but, as in all such situations, you do need to bat in pairs. Muyeye and Leaning put on 104 in our first innings and the next best partnership for us in the match was Compton and Crawley (66). There wasn't a single other partnership of 50 in the match from either side.

It’s one win against a poor side on a sporting wicket . Let’s see - I hope you are right .
Great to win. 19 points I think given no batting points at all.
How good to see a quickie that can remove 9, 10 and Jack for 1,0 and 0. A novelty for Kent fans. Stay fit Dudgeon and don't become the cricketing Chuks like so many of our decent quickies have been at times.

Like Kashif Ali, he's only here for April and May and then Wes Agar arrives. Whether that can financially or other commitment wise be extended I don't know as Rogers is only here for the Blast.
A 2nd XI somewhat lacking balance were 254 all out against Notts today.
Both openers Ekansh Singh and Ben Dawkins were out for a duck but then followed fifties from Jaydn (65) and Benjamin (54). Corey Flintoff (9) doesn't look a number 5 any more than Parkinson is a 6 (3 off 43). Young all rounder Oliver Curtiss (3) and triallist, Sebastian Allison (1), a seamer, came and went but then Garrett (43*), Kashif Ali (54) and another triallist seamer, Pip Jackson (19), took the score from 141-8 to 254 all out.
No lack of bowling options though - seven seamers and two spinners plus two keepers just in case they want to switch to allow each other to have a bowl.
A dull article about our commercial activity BUT hidden within it was this revelation (for me at least)
I’m also excited to announce that Cluberly are our new Live Stream Partner until at least the end of the 2027 season, across all formats. Because of their support, I’m pleased to confirm that our Men’s home Vitality Blast matches will be shown for free via Kent Cricket’s official YouTube channel this Summer, at the same standard and quality as it was produced as KentCricketPlay.
Another triallist and our tenth bowling option - Mudasir Mian via the ACE programme but played previously club cricket for Old Whitgiftians. He has taken two quick wickets this morning in what turned out to be quite a long and eventful over:
Kashif Ali takes a wicket. Ekansh becomes bowler number nine to be utilised which leaves just the two keepers, Benjamin and Dawkins, plus Curtiss as the only members of the 12 not to turn their arm over. The chances are that Curtiss might still be recovering from the injury he sustained last season.
