Just as other competitions can be answered by looking up on other sites...

It takes time believe me...

Gezz this is the first day of the questions, maybe Jamee is warming you all up and has a whole host of questions that can't be found by simply looking on Cricinfo, if he hasn't I'll lend him a few :P

If those where so easy here's a couple of extra questions for you, obviously Kent based :P


1 - What is the name of the largest stand at Canterbury?

2 - How much does it cost to hire the St Lawrence Ground for a day, to host your own cricket match?

3 - The maiden game at the new Kent CCC ground at Beckenham, was the first time what happened?

4 - What bat make does Rob Key use?

5 - Nice easy one now :P - What car does former Kent All-Rounder Mark Ealham drive? (Your have to take my word on this as iam not aware of any photo's with it in)

6 - What large building is located next to the St Lawrence Ground?

7 - Who are the new coaching team at Kent named after Ian Brayshaw's departure?

8 - Andrew Symonds returns to Kent as our overseas player, but how many season's has he turned out for the Kent side?

9 - The indoor sports building at Kent was named what on it's opening?

10 - Who is the back-up keeper to G.Jones now?


And for a very very special bouns point, if you can name where all the balls me and my mates have lost over the years at Canterbury went, I would be very greatful

Ok not the hardest questions in the world but should keep you thinking for a few mintues.

Number 4 was the only one right

Number 5 was half right actually as he bought one right at the end of last season (4 wheel drive thing) but that isn't the one he used most as far as I know.
