Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

This is the thread for all things regarding Kent cricket.

Current squad: Rob Key (capt), Adam Ball, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Billings, Alex Blake, Mitchell Claydon, Fabian Cowdrey, Mark Davies, David Griffiths, Calum Haggett, Ben Harmison, Charlie Hartley, Matt Hunn, Geraint Jones, Brendan Nash, Sam Northeast, Adam Riley, Darren Stevens, Ivan Thomas, James Tredwell.

Rob Key is back as captain, replacing Tredders.
Darren Stevens' availability depends on the result of his corruption trial.
Looking to bring in an overseas player but waiting until the IPL auction is over. Doug Bollinger is apparently a potential target.

When is the Darren Stevens verdict expected?

The trial started around 2 weeks ago and it was predicted to last 2 or 3 weeks so we might get the verdict in the coming week.

9 out of the 20 players are 23 years old or younger.

Closing in on an overseas player: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/ ... eas-12922/

Also, Stevens' trial will definitely be finished next week.

We've signed Doug The Rug.

Bollinger?

Durham are pre-seasoning down your way. 2 day warm up match.

For the whole season. Great signing.

Very pleased with the signing. Quality bowler. Will really improve the bowling attack. Will even help Tredwell as he'll give him some rough to bowl into.

A CC team of Key, Northeast, Bell-Drummond, Nash, Harmison, Cowdrey, Jones, Tredwell, Davies, Griffiths, Bollinger doesn't look too bad. Even better if Stevens is available but not too sure how likely that is.

Was on the verge of the Aus team during the Ashes.
