Just gone back in the stream to watch that ball (I missed it first time round) and even slowed it down to 0.25 speed to get a better look at it!
If I'm being charitable to the ump I'll say the ball hit Green outside the line of off stump and as he was playing a (kind of) shot that means not out.
However with my Kent hat on that was as plumb as you can get and we've been robbed!
The private benefactor that paid for Cam Green is probably quite happy.
That's the thing. We lost Dudgeon and Kashif hasn't been good enough especially in a match such as this which is around the margins. His return in this game was 2-128 and in total, in his 5 matches, he's taken 11 wickets at 51.64. I don't expect Ball to be playing in the next match having bowled 37 overs in this and leaving the field in the second innings but wouldn't be surprised if we didn't omit Kashif too. We will have Ogborne and Garrett available, might bring in Parkinson and one wonders about the fitness of Evison, Cohen and Quinn too.
