    English Domestic Season 2023

    Crawley has had plenty of time to watch his opening partner bat in the first two matches, so I'm sure he doesn't need us to tell him. In fact in the first innings vs Northants he played very well for a 90 made in difficult conditions for batting. From what I saw on the live stream, he was...

    English Domestic Season 2023

    Well, even if we lose today it is still played 2, W1, L1. This is a long season - the final positions may well depend on September, not April, form.

    English Domestic Season 2023

    It's very difficult to sign one for a whole season if they are an active international player or a white ball specialist . Kent signed George Linde for 2 seasons at the start of 2022 - he missed part of last season with an injury, and hasn't yet arrived for this season as he is on paternity...

    Scyld Berry "Disappearing World - The 18 First-Class Cricket Counties"

    I've no doubt you can answer your own question if you put your mind to it...?

    Scyld Berry "Disappearing World - The 18 First-Class Cricket Counties"

    I've never quite understood why fewer counties, leading to fewer professional cricketers employed and fewer spectators watching cricket live would make the game stronger. I simply wouldn't have ever gone to watch cricket if my (non-Test playing county) didn't exist, nor would I watch cricket...

    Scyld Berry "Disappearing World - The 18 First-Class Cricket Counties"

    I'm sorry that there are so few games there this season (2 x 50 over matches only) - even though I don't go there (living near the south coast it's a very long drive), but there are plenty of seconds games (free) and women's cricket matches, plus 3 U19 international games at least. I'd have...

    English Domestic Season 2023

    And Kent have announced an overseas fast bowler - Wes Agar; I expect he'll suffer an injury of some sort before too long!

    Kent's second ground (Beckenham) is still close to SE London last time I looked at a map! ?

    English Domestic Season 2023

    Yes indeed - we are basing a lot on Gilchrist (who started the season with a slight (I hope) injury, and a putative overseas fast bowler signing, but several 'deals' have fallen through due to injuries or the refusal of a NOC. Our other overseas is Linda, a spinner, who is on paternity leave...

    English Domestic Season 2023

    Speaking as a Kent supporter, I agree that Harry Podmore did well for us - he was capped in 2019 - but over the last two seasons he had suffered a series of injuries and, when he did play (even in the seconds) he didn't look like the bowler he had been. From memory he had one more year (2023)...

    English Domestic Season 2023

    Very wet here (20 miles from Canterbury) again this morning - there is no doubt that luck plays a part when the season starts as early as it has this year. It's unlikely a game would have enough playing time to reach a positive conclusion if today/tomorrow were part of the 4 days. As it was...
