Well good to see Kent on course for victory, also great to see the two captains actully risking a lost in search of a victory

And LOL @ Surrey

 

[Tom Halsey]

I know - I love seeing them lose.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Rich, Kent are lucky....

Well the boys are back in town... 7 wicket win chased 302(for 3) in under 60 overs @ 5 an over!

Rich, Kent are lucky....

Keep saying that, and maybe one day you might actually start believing it....

Do you enjoy talking to yourself (in the quote)?

Plus, you admitted they are lucky.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Damn, you've edited it.

Firstly, yes it is more intresting than talking to you sometimes

2nd ok so I forgot to change a name when I copied a quote, and and the end of the day it doesn't make a blind bit of difference if we are lucky or not, we still have a win down on the scorecard and that's something you don't yet

 

[Tom Halsey]

HAHA.

 

[marc71178]

A full winning Heinz for me - 2 wins and 4 drawn = returned stakes!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Silly Essex Fan. Quality!

 

[Rich2001]

Silly Essex Fan. Quality!

Hehe, at least you saw the funny side of it

Also mate just to make you even happier, I was read the Kent vs Worcs preview just now on the Kent CCC website and found a nice paragraph that I thought you might like to read also.....

"As for Worcester, this is their first competitive match of the season, and they will be without Kabir Ali who has recently undergone surgery to correct a hernia complaint.

Their batsmen were in good form against Essex in a pre-season friendly at the weekend with Andy Bichel (115) and Stephen Rhodes (144) in particular enjoying the Essex attack with a 7th wicket stand of 216 in 35.1 overs."


EDIT

LOL - Just went to the Worcs site to see the scorecard for that match and saw they scored 500+ and got bored so checked the One Day game out and sorry but couldn't stop laughing for a while

Here's hoping that's a joke...

 

[Loony BoB]

I just noticed Craig Spearman plays county cricket - can anyone tell me what other New Zealanders can be found in what teams, and also other international players? I've never been able to keep up with county stuff, but it'd be nice to find a team to support and players I can recognise.
