An unlikely Kent win?

It's possible.

It's a strange one, despite being 89 runs behind, I think I would rather be in our position than theirs at the moment. We're in a position where we probably shouldn't win and Derbyshire are in one where they definitely shouldn't lose, so what do they do? Are they going to try and play for the draw today now?

Its on!

175 to win, hopefully the weather holds out.

Brilliant performance from Kent yesterday.

To go into the final day 89 runs behind with Derbyshire having 7 wickets left and to still walk away with a 7 wicket win is a great effort, superb effort from the bowlers and DBD again showing how good he is, his 5th 50th in 5 games.

Unbeaten so far this season, signs of this young side really coming together. Ultimately I think it'll be our bowling that prevents us getting promoted this season, just don't take 20 wickets enough.

A shame we were mugged off by Worcestershire, otherwise we might be level on points with Essex, or close to it.

Would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this Surrey collapse just a little bit.

Got tickets for when Somerset come to the CG, Gayle's due to play.

Been on the SCCC website, and he isn't playing against Kent, which presumably is why it hasn't sold out (thank goodness)
I am hoping to go to Bristol the following night as well.

No surprise England gone with Woakes to replace Stokes. Can't really see any other result than a similar pasting to the one we gave SL at Headingley.

Pretty poor shot by Cook. His bat was miles away from his body there. Shame as batting looked comfortable out there until that point.

Hales looked solid though so far.

Compton just always looks so rushed when playing a shot. Never seems comfortable out there.

Stunning catch though.

A few pre match beers for me in Leeds before our 1st t20 game tonight. On another note the test match is won already for me they might struggle to get 300 in 2 innings again

No one is in better form than Bell-Drummond though, over 600 FC runs

True, but you only beat what is put in front of you.

Part of a much improved Kent team, which helps.
He's clearly part of the future and I was being a bit disingenuous about his average. I was a bit disappointed we didn't try and take him to Somerset over the winter tbh.

Awful from yorkshire. Can't see us doing anything with our batting lineup in this format, rashid in at 3 ffs. Bowling wise we should be the best really with Plunkett,Willey and rashid.

Apart from Hildreth, the rest of your side aren't tearing up any trees are they?

Brett D'Oliveira is in as good form as anyone this season, but he won't get a look in for England despite also bowling very useful leg breaks.

His name alone means he'll always get noticed. He's got a good chance of being in the Lions squad for July and then who knows.

South Africa over here next summer too. NARRATIVE.
