Well over half the team's total runs as well.
At this point I'd believe it if you told me he was personally responsible for the rain not stopping play at Canterbury as it has every other ground in the country.

Partnership ended up being 166 runs with Cummins getting just one of those, unbelievable.
Stevens was the ninth wicket to fall, with the score on 294.
The number 11 came in and smacked his first ball for six to secure a batting point. Class.
These respective SRs are good:

I once took part in a partnership of 112, of which I scored 16. I thought that was a bit lopsided but this one is out of this world.
I don't what the record for the percentage of runs in a partnership but that must be up there. I remember Astle scored a few in a partnership with Morrison but will have to look up the record
EDIT: It is, indeed, a first class record
Me too, especially if the Test in question clashes with a Kent v Sussex game.

I don’t think it will happen but it would be a reminder that you’re never too old if you’re good enough. I remember when David Steele was drafted in(successfully) in the mid 1970s but he was only in his thirties I think(though looked ancient)!!
It is quite incredible. Like a fine, six hitting wine.
The stand in the OP had me thinking of the time I batted with young JH when he was in his double century whacking pomp. I know there was a stand where we put on about 90 and he got about 80 of them and pretty much all my contributions were singles putting him back on strike. I can't remember the exact numbers though. He was out first, mind.

Just wish he wasn't a Man of Kent (or is he a Kentish Man?)
Superb County player playing for the wrong County.
Bet he will take a hatfull of wickets as well.
p.s. Can he change his middle name to Bloody via Deed Poll to save us the effort?
