We could do with another spinner, get Cowdrey out of the BBC comnentary box!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but might we have played 3 spinners? Really didn't need Haggett and/or Claydon.

Great minds and all that.........

Briston_Addick

Five overs left, 36 needed.

Denly on now ...

Addick Addict

103-4

Us 102-7

Briston_Addick

Well bowled Joe, 1-30 from 4 overs. No boundary in that last over.

103-4, 31 needed from 24.

blackpool72

Great game this

Briston_Addick

Great effort by Dickson (or Dickinson, as Ebony Rainford-Brent has insisted on calling him).

Briston_Addick

Another good over, this time from Stoinis.

110-4, 24 from 18 required.

Mitch takes the ball ...

Addick Addict

Big big over from Milne coming up

Briston_Addick

Bugger. Could have done without that maximum.

11 needed from 12.

LenGlover

11 runs 12 balls.

Dear old Mitch....

Uboat

I think that's the game. Shame. Good effort in the field.

Briston_Addick

Oh dear.

LenGlover

Oh well.

They gave it a go.

Briston_Addick

Kent's nightmare start cost them that match.

Another 20-30 runs might have been enough.

Is this going to be one of those years of coming up just short in every comp?

Uboat

Oh well. At least we can look forward to finishing third in Div 2.

SoundAsa£

No cigar.

Carter

Gutted to lose that, brilliant game. If we had only started better we have fielded that well and Billings has kept that we'll everytime I've watched us this season

Briston_Addick

Bilbo reckons we were 15-20 runs light.

Addick Addict

"Certainly we didn't want to prepare a wicket like that knowing Lancs' spin". Billings having a dig?

Kent won the toss

I know that and that's why I suggested that Billings might be shifting the blame.

I agree

Addick Addict

I also know that we never had any intention of playing 3 spinners so we, clearly, misread the pitch and prepared one for their bowling strength.

Addickforlife

Don’t think he was shifting the blame. If I was him I’d be pretty annoyed we’ve just prepared that pitch, clearly playing into Lancs hands. So much for home advantage and all that

The_President

Oh well. Shame really, as all Surrey fans wanted Kent to win.

killerandflash

That total was never going to be enough

In retrospect we played too many slogs trying to force the scoring. We needed proper batsmen in for the last 5 overs

The_President

where was Stevens?

Not been in our T20 team, for injury and form reasons
