The bad news is that Gloucs are 47-4 and still need another 101 runs to beat Warwickshire
What are the permutations between us and Warwick’s in terms of what results relate to (if you get what I mean) ?
There are too many at the moment because Somerset and Yorkshire can still go down too. Things will become clearer once their games are finished but it is ridiculous that we have won three matches and yet Yorkshire are above us and have only won one - that's because we've lost more and picked up so few bonus points when we've drawn and lost.
Surrey thrashing Yorkshire at the moment. Glad to be of help 🤗

About time you lot did something meaningful for us. McKerr scored as many runs in the match as he took wickets - one!!!

A Gloucestershire win would leave us 19 points above Warwickshire I believe. If we get no points at all against Somerset and Warwickshire win their last match with 20 points or more (max possible 24) then they can catch us.
However in reality we SHOULD be safe if Gloucestershire can win since we should get SOME bonus points against Somerset.
terrific all round bowling from Kent .. Jack Leaning had a great match, real Capn's performance, century and two vital 2nd innings wickets .. I reckon we are now safe from relegation .. however who yet knows what format will be used for next season's C C, could be regional , a smaller 1st Division, whatever .. and as for a 10 game championship, Sheffield Shield is a ten game tournament and that hasn't stopped the Aussies putting out very competitive sides .. admittedly they also have a very hot Grade Cricket system
As someone for whom Kent is a second team, I'm happy to see them get another crack at Div 1, no matter if the three divisions of six looms. A hell of a lot of talent in that squad, which, with a decent spinner added to the mix (and I think Qadri has promise) could easily beat anyone
Warwickshire on the brink of being relegated. You do not let this slip Gloucs
So a Gloucester win means Kent vs Somerset will be a dead rubber ?
I think that if Somerset don't beat Northants they might need something to be sure, but Kent will be safe.
If Warwickshire beat Hants and pick up maximum points, wouldn't Kent still need a draw against Somerset to be certain of staying up?
Ah maybe. But that is a HUGE if tbf - Hants will be angry. That said, their batting has looked horrible in this game!
But we beat Hants with 11 players missing. Hants have nothing to fight for.
Their pride will have been severely wounded by this and they'll fight like hell to end well. In theory. Get that Prest chap in for one of the two keepers and bury those Bears
The fact Gloucs can win and Kent could STILL go down emphasises how precarious their position was before this round of fixtures. Warks facing a team that hasn't won all season and Kent facing possible champions - they've needed both results to go their way in unlikely fashion and it could still go wrong!

Only 6 overs needed to win.
Unfortunately Warwickshire are likely to win and go above us by virtue of their 2 batting bonus points in this match.
I'm a Gloucestershire fan for the rest of the day and tomorrow if it goes that far.
No need to thank those Kent warriors ....xx

15 required with 4 wickets in hand
