**** Kent v middlesex at Canterbury tomorrow.

Hopefully they have used all their runs up today

 

Holden moves into the top 10 run-scorers in the Blast this season. Putting his hand up for a 100 wildcard.

We (Brave) could really do we another left-hander.

 

Rehan Ahmed called up to Test squad as cover for Moeen. Ludicrous decision - he'll get hammered all over the park.

 

Sounds like a perfect replacement for Moeen then

 

Difference is I don't want this kid's confidence to get dented by playing too much, too soon. Picking an 18 year old leggie in Pakistan is one thing, picking him at Lords in a must win (or at least must not lose) Ashes Test is another thing entirely.

 

Essex 21 off rhe first over!

 

And only 1 off the 2nd.

 

Just 1 run from the 2nd over. Good response lads!

 

This is just atrocious bowling.

 

and imperious batting...

 

No, it's just **** bowling. If you keep bowling half trackers and in the slot this is what happens.

 

We may as well ditch all fielders outside the ring. I don’t think anyone has got near a ball yet!

 

And it continues 114-0 9ovs

 

Kevan James says "I don't know where you can bowl" - how about yorkers for goodness sake!

Yes, if you get it wrong it can be hit back down the ground, but every other ball is going for a boundary anyway.

 

This is all over already. They'll score 250 and we ain't chasing that.

 

Maybe the batters are a actually good? Who’d have thought.

 

We're bowling like part time park players FFS.

 

Wow, an over without a boundary!

 

Kent 228-3

I would have been confident of a win if it wasn't for Middlesex's performance yesterday.

They can't do it again, can they?

 

Bloody impressive from Turner given everyone else has been tanked.
