After this mornings seasonal rains,I thought will it/won't it be on. but with the drainage system it's got to be played ( unfortunately). And,because of a crazy dream the night before about the lights I had to be there, I dreamt that all the lights worked but the pylon by the Edrich stand had a faulty teleacpoic part,and 3 engineers were jumping up and down on it until it started working(yeah ,it is sad)

Met Paul and his mate at the Star for a couple of pre match beers. We made our way to the ground for last seasons final re-match with the hope that Ace and Morgan will be back for us,with Strauss resting.  No queue this time we walk straight in,no bag or wigs with me this time,sorry Green Team.

The lights are already on,Paul saying 'The lights will look good later as it will be a dark night'  ( 1st place prize to Paul in stating the bleeding obvious competition)

Kent win the toss and decide to bat we have and as we hoped Ace and Morgan wrere back. Richardson opened the bowling from Nursery end,soon Key is out,a superb back peddling one handed catch by Malan without scoring. A good start by the Middle

Paul and myself have a couple of bets both did 21-25 runs in the first 5 overs  I also had Morgan as the highest Middle scorer.  As well,our first bets are over,lost it by 1 run, Paul saying what a joke, I've never been so excited about £18
 

It's a poor crowd,the weather didn't help and with some other Mickey Mouse final on the tele.

Evans is next to bowl from the Pavilion end with Kent on 26-1 off 5 overs,he is having a bad time with bowling 14  off over and decide after the 8th over its beer time. Shaggy puts himself on to bowl from Pavilion end after Evans Kent are 52-1 off 7 then a breakthrough Denly caught by Morgan in front of the pavilion 55-2. In comes the ex England wicket keeper Jones and Dexter replies with an 8 ball over from the Nursey end,both Jones and Van Jaarsveld looking too comfortable against fairly easy bowling,Malan helps the ball over the rope for a Jones 6. Then Jones goes for 30,Richardson takes 2 for 25 but Evans nightmare still continues with the ball going through his hands for a 4, Stevens on 52 off 19 balls.Kent finally reach 191-3 off their 20 overs a good,but getable score. Mind you this is Middlesex chasing.
