I was at Canterbury yesterday and couldn't believe how ordinary The Windies were. They have been saved from defeat by the weather and the fact it was only a 3 day game. If England slip up against them, it will be down to incompetence. You
As I was about to sing before I went weak at the knees:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
Kent's 2nd X1 wicket keeper/batsman Ollie Robinson (formerly Sidcup CC and Bexley CC but currently at Beckenham CC) received a call from David Graveney yesterday and has been called up for the England U19 squad for the series against India in July.
Good luck to Ollie.
Ollie is playing in the 50 over ODI v India at Canterbury that has just started and is live on Sky. England currently 20-0 off 2!

Obviously got better weather there than in London!
Looks like Stevens is injured, opened the bowling & only bowled 1 over.
There must be something wrong with Stevens and not just in this game - in the last 7 matches he has only bowled just 5 overs and never more than one in any of them. He is also batting at 7 and as one of our most destructive batsmen that is a surprise too. Is he still not right after getting his on the head?
I think the reason is the rather more prosaic one of Neesham costing Kent a lot and they want their pound of flesh. Stevo is arguably the closest player to him so is effectively the one to make way even though actually physically dropping a fit Stevens with his track record is unthinkable..
How much to get in I might see my first ever twenty20 tonight.
It's £30 on the door. Would have been £22 online but that offer closes night before.
The prices Kent charge are pretty steep really, especially with the poor facilities at Canterbury. They do need the money though...
cheaper than Surrey. not sure what extra facilities you would want. Kent also sell a 6 pack for £100 which you can use at any game which is excellent value.

I don't know where you usually shop but but 6 beers for £100 is shocking value for money

Poor seating and bogs, inaudible pa, as much as it pains me, The Oval is an excellent day out
Cricket, from Kent at any rate, generally poor company good so overall a positive experience. Always good to catch up with old friends and team mates.
Northeast and Billings batted well but 167 was at least 20 light and our bowling during the first power play in particular was abysmal. Hampshire had 70 odd after 6 overs! 167 is no target when you are nearly halfway with 14 overs to go.
An absolute ripsnorter picked out from the night sky in front of the boundary. Not a great night if you are Kent\Lancs supporter. Also Kent at Somerset on Sky Sports today at 15:30.
