Story Kent - A Cricket07 Story - Season Finished

[Kev]

Yorkshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Headingley
Day 3 -3rd Session

Dawson and Gale frustrate Kent after tea and it takes until 5:50 for Kent to take their next wicket. Its that man again, Patel. He bowls Dawson for 27 to end a vital partnership for Yorkshire.

Hoggard joins Gale at the crease and Gale goes on to reach his half century.

Dexter enters the attack for Kent and with the score on 197, Hoggard edges a ball from the Kent youngster straight to first slip but the fielder cant keep hold of the ball and Hoggard survives. Yorkshire end the day on 210/8, with a lead of 170.

Yorkshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Headingley
Day 4 -1st Session

Cook ends Yorkshire's hopes setting Kent a big total when he bowls Gale in the first over of the day.

He takes the final wicket too. Gillespie falls to a short delivery and Yorkshire are all out for 227. Having set Kent a target of 188 for Victory.

Mindful of their poor start earlier in the match Walker and Fulton dig in and score just 27 runs (8 of which come in Gillespie's final over) in the 18 overs before lunch.

188 shouldn't be too hard, good luck

 

[plympilgrim]

Yorkshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Headingley
Day 4 -2nd Session

Kent lose Fulton in the second over after Lunch, its a poor shot, one which the Kent players have got out to a fair bit so far this season too.

With the score on 50, Walker is runout going for a risky single.

Lehmann then takes a good catch to dismiss Key off a mistimed drive. Suddenly Kent are 3 down for 52 runs.

Dexter is pretty unhappy when he is given out but Lehmann isnt complaining as he shows he is no slouch in the field for the second time.

Martin van Jaarsveld and Geraint Jones come together at the crease and dig Kent out of a hole, taking them to 126/4 at tea.

Yorkshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Headingley
Day 4 -Final Session

Kent start the final session of play needing 62 runs for Victory and Jones doesnt take long to reach his 50.

His high risk strategy of going for big shots over the tight Yorkshire field eventually leads to his downfall though and he is caught on 56.

Darren Stevens replaces Jones at the crease and its a short stay, he is runout for 1 run.

Henderson is pleased not to have repeated his first innings performance but he is less pleased when he is given out caught on 4.

Patel walks to the crease and is given instructions by van Jaarsveld to block the ball and let him guide the team home. Soon after van Jaarsveld's fifty comes up off a Hoggard no ball.

And at 5:32 he sweeps for a single to win the match.

A mild overcast day greets the players and when the toss is won by Worcestershire they decide to get first use of a good wicket and bat.

Worcestershire get off to a very slow start and in the 14th over they only have 19 runs when Cook bowls Moore for 15.

21st Over

Its just over half way through the innings and Worcestershire only have 47 runs on the board. Bravo is getting some good swing from the ball and he bowls Jaques for 16.

36th Over

Worcestershire continue to plod along at a slow rate and in the 36th over Saggers gets his first wicket when Hick plays a rare attacking shot.

37th Over

Following the departure of Hick, Solanki is bowled by Joseph in the next over.

Foster then bags a first baller as Worcestershire switch to suicide mode.

39th Over

Joseph takes 2 more wickets in the penultimate over. First he bowls Smith.

Then Davies goes the same way.

Final Over

Saggers bowls the final over for Kent and its not a good one. Worcestershire finish on 127/7.

It is shame that many batsmen didn't get into double or triple figures. The main thing is that they had starts. I'm looking forward to see Kabir Ali make a century.

 

[plympilgrim]

well lots of wickets lost there, and not many runs for worcester
