This is nice from The Grauniad: A ridiculous match at Canterbury finished with Essex winning by three wickets to extend their lead at the top of Division One. Twenty-six wickets fell in the day as first Essex lost nine for 82, then Kent were bowled out for 40, their lowest total at the St Lawrence ground. Sam Cook grabbed seven for 23 – and 12 for 65 in the match. No Kent batsman could reach double figures. Chasing 153 to win, Essex made it by the skin of their teeth. The pitch liaison officer said “no blame” could be attached to the pitch. |

26 wickets in the day... if that had been Taunton, Angus Fraser himself (who seems to have something against us) would visit and deduct the points personally. That he has no power to do so other than being from the self-styled 'home of cricket'*, has no bearing. *we all know it is really Downend, birthplace of WG Grace and where I scored my first hundred tauntonstandrews.play-cricket.com No bore like an old bore, right?!

*It is really wherever I will score my first hundred, this means cricket is most likely eternally homeless

Title's gone, but at least we're not getting relegated this year

Win by 5 wickets... close the gap to 2 points at the top... if only Kent hadn't been so shambolic
