Pretty good day for Martin van Jaarsveld today
[/understatement]
Not out 114, then took 5/33, then 70 not out. Here's hoping the weather holds tomorrow (along with the Kent lower order!)
Weather doesn't look good, they haven't come back on since lunch. We are in the same weather front, it's still raining. Not that dark though.
Damn i was hoping this woul be rained off
Some good work from snicko earlier proving fred wasn't out, does Horton always bat this high? If so his average of 50 is really impressive. Don't like the fact he's an Aussie thoughWell he has English parents and has lived here since he was young so it's ok but does he even want to play for us?

well done fred, great knock to get us over the finish line, some dodgy shots from him at times, but also some very good shots, the 4 he hit when he came walking down the wicket at RMJ and got it through extra cover was wonderful, and the fact that he hit 3 sixes shows hes getting some confidence back, i really hope he can keep getting his form back with the bat like this, he didnt get any wickets in the match but he did bowl quite well at times and was unlucky not to pick any up
It was a Freddie innings. That's how I want him to play. When he pokes and prods around he's more likely to get out straight away. But when he does what he did today and comes straight out of the blocks and unsettles the bowling attack that's when Fredward is at his best.
Has to be a shoe in for the Saffa series, I'd personally have him in for either Anderson or Collingwood.
Did you watch the innings ? He was walking down the pitch to the quicks with regularity and smashing them for 6. He was also holding his shape wonderfully, was a proper Flintoff innings.
