    Surely the new owners won’t put up with this for next season?

    Fuller walking off in the 15th over. He should only be coming in about now, not departing.

    Crazy that we think he's a no.6.

    Just been an innings of catching in the deep. Wicket after wicket after wicket.

    Birrell has to go for this. No strategy to this innings at all. No re-assessing of the pitch, no re-building, just slogging. Embarrassing to watch.

    Number 11 hits him for more runs in 1 ball than the top order batsmen did in 3 overs. Hilarious

    One of the worst batting displays I've even seen from us. Ever.

    From one all the way down to nine. Only Wood and Currie should avoid criticism.

    Well, 124 is something to defend at least. We did bat out the 20 overs in the end.

    What I will say is that there were so many mistimed shots the pitch has to be bad to bat on. Let's see how out bowlers get on.

    Not even if we went back in time to the Afridi-Briggs-Tahir golden trio would be defend this.

    Gloucs won't just keep on sticking the ball into the air like we did.

    Which is one reason why the performance was so awful. We should have assessed the pitch miles earlier. When a classy batter like Vince is struggling to time the ball in the second over, that should be setting off alarm bells.

    We did bowl out Glous for less than this a couple of weeks ago as well. Their batting isn't great outside the top 3. Get those 3 out early we're in the game.

    This has the potential to be the perfect night for Kent. Very possible that all four results will go their way.

    Doesn't look a bad pitch, hopefully Daws and Benny can turn the screw a bit.

    It's neither a 200 wicket nor a 124 wicket.

    I think 145 would have given us a decent chance.

    Gloucs have barely had to take a risk (thanks to our low score), which will often make the pitch look a little better than it is.
