Damn, County games really are screwed up on this game. Still, top effort to take 5 in a session.

Kent v Surrey - C&G Trophy - Canterbury
1st Innings
On a sunny and warm Sunday, Surrey win the toss and elect to bat first.
Kent have selected a strong batting lineup at the expense of their bowling attack and as such Justin Kemp opens the bowling.
It's Kemp's South African team mate Andrew Hall who strikes first as Clinton is caught and bowled for a duck in the second over.
Surrey are soon 1/2 as Newman is bowled by Kemp in the third over. Kent once again get off to a fantastic start in the C&G.
Mark Butcher gets off to a good start, opening his score with a six, but Surrey fail to capitialise and after 10 overs are 14/2.
In the 17th Over it becomes 14/3 as Cook bowls Butcher.
Surrey continue to bat at a snails pace and the spectators are wondering if they have forgotten that this is a limited overs match, after 30 overs they aren't even scoring at 1 an over and are 28/3.
Kent's surprise of the season so far strikes next as Ferley bowls Brown for just 12.
Ramprakash is next to fall as Ferley takes the catch from the bowling of Denly and Surrey are down and out at 37/5.
37/5 soon becomes 37/6 as Batty is caught by Dexter from Cook's bowling for 0.
With 10 overs remaining Surrey are 43/6. They finally start to score some runs, but the pace still isnt electric and Kumble is next to fall. He is caught by Ferley off the bowling of Kemp, trying to push the score on for another duck.
The 8th wicket falls for the addition of just one run. A good pickup and throw from Geraint Jones dismisses Clark as he is runout for 27 from the bowling of Hall.
The 9th wicket falls with just 1 ball remaining in the innings.
Mohammad Akram has to face just the 1 ball and at the end of the innings its an embarassing 75/9.

75/9 after 50 overs? Time to go up a level, I think.

2 problems with that, firstly I'm stuck with 4* for this story as I dont think you can change it in the middle of a save game. This story was the first time I tried playing on 4* and to be honest I am not completely comfortable with the batting yet (Look at my C&G match v Somerset).GrayNicolls said:75/9 after 50 overs? Time to go up a level, I think.
Second problem is I havent noticed much of an increase in the AI batting going from 3* to 4* so I dont think it will change much if I do go up, the only difference being all the games will be low scoring as I wont be able to bat.
The bottom line is I just cant get the AI to attack me, I really dont think this will change until we get a field placing editor and some decent patches. I've even tried bowling badly and they still just block most of the time.

Kent v Surrey - C&G Trophy - Canterbury
2nd Innings
Denly and Walker open the Kent innings and with such a low target can afford to take it easy. After 10 overs they are 44 without loss, the only moment of drama being a couple of edges that go for four and Denly dropped in the slips early on.
In the 12th over Denly is getting a little impatient and hits 2 straight sixes. He is out the next ball attempting to hit a third.
Key replaces him at the crease and Kent predicatably reach their target in 16 overs.

I think Kent could have got more competition from the nets then in that easy win. Nice story mate

Lancashire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Old Trafford
Day 1 - 1st Session
Overcast skies and a Hard Pitch convince Lancashire that batting first is the best option and put Kent into the field.
They dont get off to the best of starts as Chilton is easily runout with the score on 6.
Freddie Flintoff is the next man in and joins Sutcliffe at the crease, the pair are playing positively but are finding it hard to breach the Kent field and when lunch is called they are 54/1.

Lancashire v Kent - Liverpool Victoria County Championship - Old Trafford
Day 1 - 2nd Session
Flintoff and Sutcliffe continue at the crease after lunch and are putting a decent partnership until Patel bowls sutcliffe for 41.
Law doesn't last long at the crease and is runout for 1.
Next to go is Hodge as Fulton increases his catch tally for the season.
Lancashire are in serious trouble now as Freddie goes without the score increasing. He was looking for a big six but is caught in the deep. Lancashire have gone from 70/1 to 91/5 in half an hour.
Lancashire need a steady head now but its not long before another wicket falls as Loye is runout for 5.
Lancashire make it to tea wiht the score on 117/6. Its been a disasterous session and Kent will be delighted to pick so many easy wickets.
