Actually someone has pointed out the Covid side was our youngest ever (the game Seb almost ended up playing in) but that team had Heino Kuhn in the top six and would have been older than today's.
Three quick wickets - Finch caught down the legside off Wells with the keeper standing up for 22 (67), Rivzi chops on for a three ball duck off the same bowler and finally Evison caught at slip off Hartley for Evison 22 (58)
Quinn, with a bit of an innings where he demonstrated that skill of knowing all the shots but not necessarily to the ball that has been delivered, is bowled for a single.
This is only Mitchell Stanley's second FC game (both against us) but, such is his promise, I fully expect him to be named in the Ashes squad. Well he is tall and quick and that meets all the criteria required.

He picks up 5-80 as he has Parkinson caught behind for 12 (28)

Probably shoe in for the Lions squad along with Josh Hull,Sonny Baker and Sam Cook in terms of seam options.
According to social media, Muyeye will have a concussion substitute. That hasn't been confirmed by Kent but it really wouldn't surprise me.
Hope he’s ok . 2 batsmen colliding mid wicket is the most Kent 2025 thing ever .
Positives from this season:
1) Promise shown by Denly , Ekansh and Dawkins. I’d hope that a couple of them can cement themselves for next season in the top 6, although the batting should have decent depth.
Joe Denly has come into the side for the concussion victim Muyeye which is interesting given that he wasn't in the squad originally but Benjamin, for example, was.
Our four slips at one point were Dawkins (18), Jaydn (19) Flintoff (19) and Curtiss (18). I would defy anyone to find a slip quartet younger than that in the history of the county championship let alone one for Kent CCC.
Flintoff and Curtiss were sub fielders for Parkinson and Joe Denly who, as mentioned, is the concussion sub for Muyeye but was a seemingly late call up as he's only just come onto the field.

You are allowed like for like subs, so Denly is a more obvious replacement.
If we had been away at Durham, I imagine we would have just gone with whoever was there.

They are both batters but I was thinking more from the perspective that Joe is out of contract in a few weeks time and Benjamin isn't and what is a non-event of a game for us.
