Table correction - level on points but Kent ahead on more wins 10 to 8

Also Kent get to choose to bowl first or not next week, right conditions and Stevens and Henry (add if Bell is missing for the bears) they’ll have an early advantage on day 1

Bears missed out there I didn’t know his contract was up

Would have filled a Jonathan Trott sized hole perfectly!

Battle of the bonus pts. Kent struggled with batting bps all season.
Assuming Bell fit?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Kent batting 9 for 1 having some difficulty and it looks like the ball hit the stumps but the bail didn’t fall off

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

67 for 3

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

78 for 4 at lunch

Would have taken that at 10:30, Denly wicket the key hopefully restrict them to under 250 first inns

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Denly out 91 for 5 Stone looks the real deal if he has a good winter we won’t see him for a while he has real pace.

250? under 200 then not even a bp!! we get 201 and they have to win the game

 

[tisza]

there we go 102 for 6. clean up the tail then get ready to bat for 3 and a half days

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

133 for 9

 

[tisza]

seems ridiculous a side with only 16 batting bps and go into final game of season with a chance of the championship

 

[tisza]

1st part done 167ao. Now get your heads down against a good attack and get to batting bps at least

18 for 0

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

50 for 0

 

[tisza]

much berated opening pair continue to improve as season has progressed.

 

[tisza]

what does it say when the Div1 champions can be skittled for 67? on the beach or not as good as they should be. another raft of poor scores across CC.

 

[tisza]

can't get much better than that for a 1st day.
Kent chose to bat, skittled for 167 then Warks 148 without loss at close

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Near perfect day!
Yep Sibley and Rhodes have kicked on, Div 1 will be another challenge but certainly deserve 4/5 champ games (not that there is anything else about)
Bat all day tomorrow get a 300 lead and finish them off Wednesday!

I was annoyed about the Surrey game being on tv but looking at the scorecard ha it’s good to see!

Once they realized they had to fight for runs (Sibley in particular) both much improved. Take that through to next season I reckon they'll go okay.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Played like a one day innings!
Some shoddy short wide bowling as well!

[Terry Gibson's perm]

116 ahead with six wickets left so with a bit of luck he may be done as a batsman and I would imagine that would suit him as I don’t think it’s about personal recognition for this bears legend

 

[tisza]

nice touch.
hopefully it means they don't think he'll be batting again in this match

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Lucky we had that opening partnership! 150 ahead 7 down now.

 

[Covstu]

love this, nice touch from them. reach 350 and lets go at em to get the win

yep hoping Trott would have bowed out with a decent total.

Maybe knocking off the winning runs chasing a low total some point tomorrow evening!

yes he has one more bite of that cherry!! Be nice to do a 'Cook' and bow out with a 50 or 100!

That’ll mean some knock by Kent 2nd inns!

Taking the final wicket or a catch off Wright

“
If Warwickshire are to stay up next season, they will need to rely on several new faces. At least two of this side - Jonathan Trott, who is retiring, and Chris Wright, who is moving to Leicestershire - will be gone and it seems likely that Keith Barker will depart, too. The club have offered him a new deal but it is understood not to be quite as attractive as the package he enjoys at present or, crucially, as attractive as deals available elsewhere. Andrew Umeed, Sunny Singh, Boyd Rankin (all released) and Josh Poysden (Yorkshire) are also departing, while the club says it does not anticipate adding to Liam Norwell, Craig Miles (both Gloucestershire seamers) and Rob Yates (a top-order batsman) among those joining.

This apparent imbalance between those departing and those arriving is not, Warwickshire insist, anything to do with budget - they are due to make a substantial repayment of up to £4m on the loan taken out to fund their redevelopment towards the end of 2019 - but rather a desire to provide opportunities to those already here and an inability to persuade others to join them.

On the evidence of this performance, Barker would be substantially missed. While the pace he generates these days is sedate, the swing he gains is lavish, the variety is useful and the footmarks he creates for Jeetan Patel an underrated asset.”
