Just seen the highlights of the last few overs and we nearly through it away due to some atrocious fielding by looks of it....hopefully will do better tonight.

I wouldn't agree it was atrocious fielding.
Somerset captain agreed they were not up to their usual standard in the field but both he & Bilbo "blamed" the wet outfield as well as the ball at times being called a bar of soap !
It was a pressure cooker out there during those final overs & IMO, our lads couldn't have fought much harder for what was a very important win.

Come on Kent !
Carn the Spitfires!
Kent win the toss and have elected to win.
Sorry, Kent have elected to field first
72-1 after 7.4
Essex 116-2 after 11.4
117-3 after 12
Big Mitch getting the latest wicket.
Essex hit 18 4s and 7 6s, probably only 4 of those off the middle of the bat.
Lots of edges and streaky shots in the Essex innings, seems a below par total.
Prediction: Spitfires to win by 4 wickets.
All out for 167
4 overs 1-58 is not great Mitch!
More proper shots (and off the middle) in the Kent innings so far than in the Essex innings.
They say that inside every fat person there's a thin person trying to get out. In his case I think he's holding three or four hostage.
Blimey, he's eaten a few pillows since retirement.
