That makes promotion look extremely unlikely, a shame because Kent are having a good season but rain has interfered in too many matches where we've in strong positions.
I think promotion is looking unlikely now - too many drawn matches plus that defeat to Derbyshire. Hopefully Riley, Blake and a couple of others will get an extended run in the team to see what they can do.
Have just bought the whole family tickets for the Sussex game at Canterbury on the 27th - hopefully a better outcome than my last visit there before emigrating when it poured down & the game was abandoned without a ball bowled!

4 day match @ Canterbury starting today against those essex boys.
Must win.
Kent side: Key, Northeast, Blake, Nash, Powell, Stevens, Jones, Mahmood, Coles, Riley, Shreck.
Davies did alright against Derby so I imagine he is injured which could be ominous given his history!
I'm not convinced that Blake is a lot better than Harmison. I'd pick Bell- Drummond or Billings, international commitments permitting.
Not a great start.
Not good....
Definitely Essex's day :-(
We'll be lucky to get a batting point :-(
Let's see how Essex bat on it before we criticise the score.
