Week 178 – August 11th – Surrey v Kent – Part 1
With the weather due to be good today, we went up to The Oval, for the one day match between Surrey v Kent.
I don’t think Surrey were expecting a large crowd, as when we got out of the station we could see queues of people for the ticket and getting in.
After queuing to get the tickets, it looked like we would have to queue to get in, but as we got near to the gates, I noticed another gate was about to be open, so I grabbed Claire and showed our tickets and got straight in. Always good to be alert what’s going on around you.
Looking out to the pitch for Surrey v Kent in the one day cup. 
Surrey v Kent.

Week 177 – July 31st – What a way to go out
It was obviously written in the stars for Stuart Broad, what a way to finish your career.
I don’t believe it’s ever been done before, the last ball you face, you hit for six and then the last ball you bowl you take the wicket to win the match.
This also to draw an amazing Ashes test series.
England have been very lucky to have two of the all-time great bowlers playing together, I don’t believe either of their records will be broken due to changes in cricket.
Thank you Broady.

Week 172 – June 27th – 300 up
What a performance and we needed this in the County Championship.
Kent batter Daniel Bell-Drummond has become the third man to score 300 or more runs in one innings for Kent, after amassing 300 not out against Northamptonshire in Northampton.
The right-hander added 94 runs to his previous first-class best score, 206* against Loughborough MCCU in 2016, to reach 300* on Day Three at The County Ground Northampton, having reach a century in 178 balls, 200 in 314 balls, & his 300 in 439 deliveries, spending a total of 531 minutes batting across all three days of the LV= Insurance County Championship match so far.
The Kent Cricket Academy product joins Bill Ashdown, who recorded two triple hundreds in his first-class career (332 vs. Essex in 1934 & 305* vs. Derbyshire in 1935) & Sean Dickson, who made 318 against Northamptonshire at The County Ground, Beckenham in 2017.
