As soon as I saw the scorecard this evening, I thought of your your post and made a mental note of "well bowled Sir"

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Gillespie has clearly nailed his colours to the mast this season. This us a development opportunity and the players afforded the opportunity must take it. We're without van Zyl, Wiese, Head, Archer, Jordan, Robinson. Seems clear Gillespie has decided that Wells, Beer, Briggs offer little on CC, he's let Bopara focus on white ball and thinks Evans also is a one day player.
From this match, it's disappointing how toothless Garton and Meaker were.
I remain sceptical of Gillespie but Covid has afforded him the luxury of a development year. In 2021, promotion is the minimum standard.

As soon as I saw the scorecard this evening...I thought of.....Dexter...Parks...Snow...Greig...Miandad...Wessels...Parker...Imran...Le Roux..Wells...Goodwin.....and I started crying.
Meaker hasn't played any cricket for two years - I think he can be cut a bit of slack.
Garton was called up as an emergency replacement to the full England team just a few years ago - he's regressed badly as they've concentrated on his batting.
People shouldn't use the lack of overseas players as an excuse. Other counties are missing players too (as I pointed out earlier, Surrey are missing 12!)
This defeat was poor selection by Gillespie. Canterbury is always a good batting wicket: he should have looked at our attack and said "We have no hope of bowling this team out twice so let's make sure our batting isn't weak." I'd have picked Wells, Thomason and Beer and dropped Meaker (who was always going to struggle), Crocombe and Carson from the team.

Jordan Cox to miss Kent's next game after breaking covid rules. Isn't Darren Stevens in the vulnerable age group?
