Story Kent - A Cricket07 Story - Season Finished

[Kev]

Worcestershire v Kent - Natwest Pro40 Division 2 - Worcester
2nd Innings

2nd Over

Kent aren't in a mood to prod their way to the required target and look to blast away from the start. Fulton falls victim in the second over, he tries to smash one back over the head of Ali but edges to the keeper.

9th Over

Just as the score passes fifty, Kent lose their second wicket. Key gives Hick a chance of a catch when he skies a ball from Khan.

15th Over

With the score on 99, Denly drops one right into the hands of Mason to give Batty a wicket.

16th Over

Martin van Jaarsveld and Geraint Jones are together at the crease and van Jaarsveld makes his fifty.

18th Over

It's all over in the 18th over, Jones hits a ball back down the ground and the pair scamper a quick two to win the match.

I was bored a long time ago, but would like to finish the season. To be honest I totally blame the stupid AI. The last championship game was pretty good, It was a low scoring affair and at one point I didn't think I'd make the 188 required in my second innings, they used tight field placings for pretty much the entire match and I found it hard to break through (just like one day but harder to slog). But if I make a decent score in my first innings its almost like the AI gives up. One day matches are completely spoilt by the negativity of the batsmen. Take the last one day match. Defend, Defend, Defend till the last five overs then its stupidly easy to take wickets. I may try chosing the worst option at the toss when I win them just to see if it makes the matches any better.

Nottinghamshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Trent Bridge
Day 1 - 1st Session

Its a lovely summer day and Kent's decision to bowl first is greeted with surprise.

After half an hour Kent get their first wicket. Saggers bangs one in a little bit shorter than normal and the ball knicks the bat and Jones takes the catch to dismiss Gallian for a duck.

The next wicket comes a further 30 minutes later, when Bravo bowls Bicknell for 32.

Hussey and Flemming take Notts through to lunch with the score at 79/2.

Keep up the good work Kev. You have done really well, as completing a whole season can take forever in this game. I just hope you get some sort of reward at the end of it all.

Nottinghamshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Trent Bridge
Day 1 - 2nd Session

Hussey and Flemming are looking set, but with the score on 83 Hussey is runout by Flemming for 31.

Flemming is next to go. Tredwell picks up his first wicket when he removes Flemming's middle stump.

Smith falls soon after when Bravo picks up a caught and bowled. Notts are now 128/5.

Ealham and Read block their way to tea but fail to move the score along.

Nottinghamshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Trent Bridge
Day 1 - 3rd Session

Saggers picks up his second wicket when Read hits a ball high into the air and Henderson gets under it.
​

With the score on 146, Bravo gets his third wicket with a fine piece of swing bowling, removing Ealham for 6.

He gets Sidebottom in the same over.

Then with Just 1 run added Bravo picks up his 5th wicket when Swann is caught in the slips by Fulton.

Nottinghamshire's collapse and Bravo's destruction is complete when with the score on 152, Bravo gets the final wicket when Smith is caught by Denly for just 1 run.

Kent face a difficult half hour at the crease and Key and Fulton steer Kent through to 37 without loss at the end of the days play.

Nottinghamshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Trent Bridge
Day 2 - 1st Session

Fulton and Key take the score to 55 before Fulton is runout for 24.

After the loss of Fulton, Kent's runrate slows as the Kent batsmen struggle to score of the leftarm bowlers. Denly only manages 1 run before he is caught by the diving Sidebottom.

Martin van Jaarsveld joins Rob Key at the crease and the pair take Kent to lunch, with the score at 94/2.

[Left_Hander]

Nottinghamshire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Trent Bridge
Day 2 - 2nd Session

The session starts on a positive note for Kent as Rob Key reaches his half century in the third over after the break.

Key is reaches 61 before he misses a sweepshot and is given LBW.

Geraint Jones joins Martin van Jaarsveld and van Jaarsveld reaches his fifty with a gritty performance.

The pair look to raise the run rate after van Jaarsveld's fifty and Kent go in at tea with a lead of 71, with the score at 223/3. It's been a much better session for Kent and they look to be in full control of the match now.
