He hasn't had a great time in the warm ups (2 T20s and 1 2-day) but i suspect he'll start the first game of the season, especially with Davies now ruled out.

Looks like Sam Billings is going to be the keeper this year.
Robbie Joseph has played in all of the warm ups so far. I think he's on trial.
Mark Davies has a slight injury so will be out for the next few weeks.
Doug Bollinger should arrive later in the week.

Do you expect Geraint Jones to play in one day cricket or are his first team days likely to be over barring an injury to Billings?

that might do him the power of good. He may respond in the positive way that made him very briefly prolific a couple of seasons ago

He's been poor so far in the warm ups - reasonably expensive and still has his no ball problem. This match could be his last chance to perform. It seems pretty odd that he's been given a trial in the first place considering we already have 10 seamers in the squad!

I expected Jones to keep in the Championship with Billings to keep in one day matches but it looks like Billings will also keep in the Championship now. They both played in last week's 2 day match vs Essex, Billings kept wicket on that occasion. Billings made just 10 runs in his only innings, however Jones did even worse with 2 runs in 2 innings.

I think it's almost certain that Jones will start the season as the reserve keeper.

I have never seen a more unlucky bowler in my life, dropped catches, edged through slips for 4, edges dropping short etc. he had loads of them for us.

Good news if that is the case.

Robbie Joseph has now signed. Hmmm... just the 11 seamers in the squad now (6 of those have signed this winter!)

On the club website's match report (http://www.kentcricket.co.uk/news/stale ... e-sunshine), Bell-Drummond is described as a teenager even though he passed 20 years last August. :no

Squad for 1st LVCC game v Worcs: Key (c), Northeast, Bell-Drummond, Nash, Harmison, Stevens, Billings (wk), Tredwell, Claydon, Joseph, Bollinger, Hartley.

Hartley will be 12th man. Main news is no Griffiths although after his warm up performances i guess it's fair enough.

Worcs win the toss and will bat. Let's see how they cope against Doug The Rug.

Tredwell has been dropped from the Championship team. :dance Young off-spinner Riley replaces him. Right decision IMO.

Didn't think Jimmy Adams was brave enough to do it but that's the 2nd bold call made this year after dropping Jones.
