    Where is Grant Stewart though? This format is one he seems to excel in and his batting is certainly going to be needed 
    He's been injured. Did play in a 2s T20 game last week but, according to Kent, they are managing his injury.

    Ultimately, he might get into the side but not as a front line wicket taker which means that he may only do so when we don't need that third spinner in addition to Lintott and Denly. 
    Did he not open last year ? Klassen certainly hasn’t  started well in his first two games 
    Last year Stewart took 7 wickets at 35.00 with an E/R of 9.07. Klaassen took 15 wickets at 25.46 and an E/R of 7.95. Klaassen offers that left arm option whereas Stewart can finish an inning off for us but he actually failed to do so last season - just 32 runs in 6 innings at an average of 6.40 and a strike rate of barely a run a ball. Although I've said that Stewart could come in for Foreman, he might replace Rogers but, for that matter, so might Dudgeon. Once he is fit we will have even more options available to us. 
    Fair enough, hadn’t realised how poor Stewart went. Think I was looking back at that year we won it instead of last year! 

    Do wonder where this will leave Parkinson, most certainly will be off once his contract finishes here this season.

    We will lose Forrester to South Africa A which means he will miss the return fixture against Sussex (7th June) and the game against Essex (9th June). Hopefully, we will win enough games with and without him to qualify.

    I was writing this off at 92-0 as I could only see a mammoth Sussex score and an inevitable collapse by us. But our bowling tidied up no end, and wow - Zak turns in a batting masterclass with Forrester. Happy days.
