We do need to learn from this. We tried to ball wide to stop them hitting to the short side but gave them 15 runs doing so when they only gave us 5 doing that.
Cracking game. But was Bopara out? He gave the impression he didn't think so.
I suspect by his reaction that he wasn't. And that in itself poses an issue that I've been trying to get my head around.
I've seen a couple of instances this season in Saturday games where teams have gone mad at an opposing batsman who has, in their opinion, nicked it, not walked and the umpire hasn't given it either. And yet those very same players are happy to claim catches when they know that the batsman hasn't hit it - with leg side wides, it's become an habitual act to claim a catch when the ball goes down that channel.
They are both forms of cheating but the batsman who didn't walk will still be getting stick during, after and even the next time the teams meet!
Sad news, Kent announce redundancies for potentially 20% of their off field employees. Inevitable really
Very sad and this won't be limited to off field cuts either - Rouse and Dickson have already departed and at least a couple more will go I suspect too.

Thanks Umps!
Great plan and execution from DBD at the end.
Makes up for the farcical Middlesex tie!
