Week 129 – September 4th – Memories
This is where it all started, though it wouldn’t be possible now, looking at this picture.
This is where from the Easter bank holiday until the school summer holidays finished, on average about 8 of us came here and played cricket all day.
We even brought a lawn mower up to cut a pitch every so often.
Looking at it now, it appears no one plays on this land, how the world has changed.
This was where a lot of my summer day was spent playing cricket. -

Hopefully I might be lucky and get a chance to get tickets for the famous match next year.

Week 126 – August 12th – Good to help
Today I received a voucher for the ICC survey I did earlier in the year.
One of the things I mentioned does appear it may be used by ICC.
Let’s see what happens.

Week 126 – August 12th – Darren Stevens
I received and email today, that after looking elsewhere, Kent have decided to release the legend that is Darren Stevens after being at the club for 17 years.
He has been an incredible player for Kent, I didn’t actually realise until reading the email that he didn’t bowl until after he joined Kent.
If you have been following the blog, you would have seen pictures from a 2nd team match which he was playing in, hopefully I can see again before the end of the season.
Thank you for your performances for the team.

Week 124 – July 27th – Kent 2nds v Hong Kong – Part 12
The final pictures from the game. I hope you have liked them along with the videos?
Logan bowling 
Another over about to start. 
Steveo rolling his arm over. Kent 2nd 385-5 of 50 overs (AS Basra 49, SW Mead 100, AJ Blake 83, DI Stevens 38, Z Ul-Hassan 70*, Az Khan 10-0-70-3) beat Hong Kong 141 of 44.2 overs (KD Shah 40, E Khan 34, MW Edwards 9.2-1-30-3, Z Ul-Hassan 5-0-25-2, JEG Logan 10-4-16-3) by 244 runs.
So after a good start in the field by Hong Kong, Kent 2nd XI batsman hit them around the ground to amass 385-5 in their 50 overs. Led by wicketkeeper SW Mead 100 and captain AJ Blake 83, who put on 155 for the 3rd wicket of just 17 overs. Z Ul-Hassan then hit 70* with 4×4 and 5×6. Az Khan picked up 3-70
In reply Hong Kong were never in the chase, as the speed of MW Edwards (3-20), never made it easy for the batsman and then the spin of JEG Logan bowled an impressive spell to claim 3-16.
It was good to see the legend Darren Stevens back playing for Kent.
Even though the result was obvious from early on, it was good to have the freedom to wander around the ground and also see Scott playing.
