The senior players have been massively inconsistent over last three seasons they only scored on the deadest of pictures . Junior players too fragile, lacking in experience and inconsistent. Interviewer is too friendly and not bringing to light the major patterns of failing to take wickets and score runs for three seasons now....Bottom of Division 2 is waiting next season. Unwatchable currently
This is not new! The signs have been there for several seasons as we scrape around at the bottom of the table! The One Day Cup and 20/20 win have masked the reality of a consistently woeful bowling attack and a fragile batting line-up. This team would struggle against the Surrey second X1 never mind in Division 2. Yes….injuries haven’t helped but the previous comment is correct. Denly is inconsistent and Leaning and Denly have had one decent score each this season. It was obvious that Ollie Robinson was a huge talent and we should have fought like mad to keep him and then Jordan Cox departs. I doubt any team since the new 2 division format has conceded so many first innings runs in so many matches. We are as bad as Leicestershire were…..and maybe, like them, we have to plumb the depths and rebuild the entire team starting with a new coach and a captain recruited from elsewhere who has the right mentality to help us win and be resilient!
Sad to say we r poor relations we don't pay top wages I'm 62 I was spoilt in the 70s with 10 international out of 11 players in team Essex haunts Surrey financially stronger
It almost looks like they are determined to self destruct. Where is Leaning after his fabulous knock. Gillespie too? Are they being punished by playing well?
It certainly appears competing in Div 1 is beyond this Kent side. Injuries notwithstanding you cannot expect to survive by keep conceding colossal totals with the best outcome then being a (often weather influenced) draw
He doesn’t sound like an inspirational captain does he? The fault must lie too in recruitment. Losing promising young players who in Cox showed us what we are missing and bringing in average oversees players who have no passion for the club. Grim future ahead. Oh and Crawley needs a hard look in the mirror.
This must be worst kent team in years. Concede 500 runs in first innings then get bowled out twice. Last couple of years there have been two teams worse than Kent, but not sure there are now. Maybe time to replace failed management.
