What was that from Ul-Hussan. Such a silly shot.
The reason why Kent have gone from established Division 1 team to worst team in the country in two seasons is that they've had to get used to facing scores of 500 plus too often. They've had a lot of injuries which doesn't help, but I read something by a Kent fan saying they should be prioritising bowlers with whatever money they can spend, rather than bringing in another batsmen like Northeast.
Credit to Glamorgan, they often found a way to take twenty wickets in a match with an attack that was one of the weaker ones in Division 2 on paper, but I can't see someone like Harris making an impression in the first division and I wish Van Der Gugten was a year or twqo younger when he got his chance in the top division.
I'm afraid that we need some really well thought out recruitment through the winter, because I can see us being that team which concedes 500 as a matter of course through next summer and while Dickson for Northeast probably strengthens our white ball batting, it certainly doesn't when it comes to the red ball stuff.
Agree that two pace bowlers are needed. Unless there are domestic players with funky clauses in their contracts, I don't think there any decent out-of-contract players left.
I wonder if turning Ingram into a domestic player and going with 2x overseas quicks is the answer (would be great to have Neser back!). Winning 3 games typically keeps you up - two quality overseas bowlers, alongside VdG and Crane, should be enough for that to be achieved.
The fact that they've offered new contracts to Byrom and Root, and gone after de Lange, suggests they're not optimistic of sourcing much quality though...
Both Ben Kellaway ans Asa Tribe have been selected for the Lions tour.
Well deserved.

We definitely missed Kellaway in our last two games and I think it’s fair to say that we wouldn’t have gone up were it not for Kellaway and Tribe. It’s criminal that Kiran Carlson has no recognition from the England selectors for his good form over a number of years, yet it also re-emphasizes how good Kellaway and Tribe have had to be to get selected - congratulations to both of them.
West Indies all out for 83... against Nepal!
They're 2-0 down in the 3 match T20 series, and were all out for 27 in a test match against Australia in the summer. Dark days for Windies cricket.
