Great to see Thomas bowling so well - that's 8 wickets so far in this match. He's had his injury problems but, if he can stay fit and bowl like this, he is well worth his place in the side.
So frustrating when you look at the Kent batting averages
In the Royal London, Kuhn averages 87 and Denly 70, with DBD on 40 In the CC, Denly averages 36, Kuhn 34 and Dickson 30. DBD averages 20, while Kuhn has no centuries
I don't know why our batting is so much poorer in red ball cricket. What's as shocking is that we have TEN bowlers who average less than 30 with the ball!
My house is on the market and we had a viewing from a South African and his wife; he looked vaguely familiar.
It turned out it was Andrew Hall! I mentioned that I am a Kent supporter but although he was friendly, he offered no views, either positive or negative re Kent CCC.

Chappell is being substituted for the rest of the match - meaning an 11th player will come out to bat.
They actually used 12 batsmen. It seems under the new "concussion rule" the player in question is forced to play no further part in the game but "retired hurt" is not counted as a wicket hence the 12 run scorers.

Can't we claim one of out batsmen is concussed, and borrow Virat Kohli as a replacement!
We have players like Denly and Kuhn who can dig in and get big scores. What we don't seem to have is two of them who are capable of doing it at the same time.

Klein (the batsman who came in for the concussed player) has hit 26 off 15 balls. That really doesn't seem fair given that the same rule wouldn't apply if a batsman broke his arm for example?
