Chris Wood.

Putting your Wood feelings to one-side, that would still leave us a seamer light.

We could have Dale Steyn available, but if he came in for Wood we will still be a seamer light. We're being forced to bowl Coles and Briggs in the powerplay, which is a total waste given how superb they are outside of the powerplay.

Dale Steyn?????????????????

Great win at "Fortress Chlmsford" -many positives such as the innings by Carbs & Coles. Also the promotion of Coles was good thinking outside the box!
Vince being a walking wicket atm gets the innings off to a poor start. Maxwell grafted but like so may overseas signings by Hants seems to need a long time to get going - not easy in a T20 season. Also we seem to be leaking too many runs - someone like a Gayle or Napier when they are in the zone would score 120+ by themslves.
Anyway great to finish with back-to-back wins - now to watch the scores of the real stuff & see Worcs prob clock up another win.

He meant not even Steyn would solve our problem.

I was wondering how Steyn could be available if Abbott wasn't.

Surrey need 303 to beat Kent off at least 70 overs I would guess. You would have them down as favourites to do it which would mean a return of 23 points and we would then have to win our game in hand. Come on Kent, do us a bloody favour.

76 overs, so 1 run short of 4 an over needed.

Gloucester have collapsed AGAIN...Worcester are as good as up.

Surrey second innings following a similar pattern to first. Two down after 20 odd runs.

Over 200 points with 4 games to go is pretty impressive. Who needs Ajmal.

We do.

Yep. Small ground, presumably flat pitch, and a pretty aggressive Surrey batting line up (Dilshan, Roy, Davies, none of them exactly bat slowly) means that a RR of 4 per over is not an issue for them. It's all about whether Kent can take 10 wickets before they get to their target.

Lets hope the heatwave continues and Briggs and Dawson can come into their own, because our current seam attack isn't going to get us promotion.

Surrey 4 down, come on Kent.

5 down, need Dilshan though.

He's gone now.
