What an end to the match yesterday, I thought we had no chance but the at-the-death bowling was exceptional....definitely pulled victory out of the jaws of certain defeat there. Well done Kent.
But with everyone back at work tomorrow the One Day matches return.
Top work, cricket organisers!
Yes, we managed to play Friday, Sunday , Tuesday, hence only 1 match was over the weekend...
Sky, BT or whatever other pay to view organisation currently has the rights calls the shots as to when the matches are played. Even radio has started to go the same way. In a few years Test Match Special will be no more in my opinion.
Cricket has sold its soul. The days of anything over 50 overs per innings are numbered be it international or county.
It's almost becoming a different sport to the one I grew up loving so much.

I'm sure that I heard that the Headingley test match clashes with a roses match as well. They're not the brightest bunch, this ECB lot, are they?
And that's before we start discussing 100 ball cricket.....
Yes, as they are playing a 50 over match at Old Trafford on Tuesday, which clashes with day 5 of the Test
However, the chances of England actually lasting to day 5 are pretty small though! I'm sure Root, Bairstow and Jennings will get out cheaply to make sure the game is wrapped up by Monday.
Was going down to Canterbury today but torrential rain in NW Kent putting me off. Noises coming out of KCCC sound promising which seems optimistic from up here. Any locals got a view?
Carl Hooper, Asif Iqbal and John Shepherd might have run him close possibly but I can't think of many more off the top of my head so definitely up there.
Seeing that today's match is between his former counties, I was wondering where Ryan Davies had gone, and he's just signed for Durham as, I'm guessing, their second choice keeper. Still only 21 and at his 3rd county, he should never have left Kent in the first place.

He had signed for Bickley CC in the KCL. Bit of a step down to go to Durham instead but, short of playing in Scotland, he couldn't get further away from home if he tried.

3242 overs a side.Rouse and Crawley left out for Billings and a fifth seamer.
Nice to see Billings grace us with his presence. A few 50 over matches, then he'll probably disappear for the England Australia series...
Som 4-1
Could do without conceding too many extras today unlike Sunday.
Gets the big one, Hildreth, trapped LBW
44-3 off 10.3
