  • I do wonder what the cost of Billings contract is and the value of that to us. He has to be, relatively speaking, one of the highest paid, if not the highest paid, player and next season he might only play a maximum of 12 games for the Club. 

    His record in the Blast this season is:

    14 innings, 188 runs @  average of 18.80 and S/R of 135.25

    Finch, by comparison:

    9 innings, 252 runs @ average of 31.50 and S/R of 147.36

    So, wouldn't we be better re-directing some of the Billings' money saved to secure a top overseas player for the tournament? 
    My thoughts exactly, AA.
  • Yeah but he is a great captain…

    Crawley not allowed to play but Rizvi and Cohen make the squad for the first time this summer
  • "Zak Crawley has not been released by England to play in this match, after featuring in the T20 Quarter Final and playing in The Hundred this August."

    = the ECB see no reason for Crawley to play any more red ball matches prior to the Ashes and he would prefer to be playing golf anyway. 
  • Maybe Zak will feature in another of the red ball games. It's not as if Kent are fighting for anything now, it might be better to see how Dawkins gets on in the CC anyway.

    No DBD,  Joe Denly or Leaning in the squad is interesting
  • Jack Leaning is finished, bloke looks like he’s forgotten how to hold a bat. Do wonder if he has personal issues ongoing but the decline he has shown this year is staggering

    DBD and Stewart aren't fit enough to play a 4-day game yet. I suspect that Denly will be offered, at best, a white ball only contract and Leaning's last 4 scores in red ball in the 2s, since he was dropped, have been 23, 52, 27 & 9.
