FPT Flood?
No Quarter in Kent
FPT Flood?
By Grockle June 3 2008
With the Canterbury pitch underwater today will we get any kind of play tomorrow or will we be looking to the reserve day? What is behind the recall of John Francis and Wes Durston? Why include Peter Trego in the squad when he has a side strain and will not be considered until Friday?

v Kent FPT Quarter Final
@ Canterbury Wednesday 4 June 2008 (No Play)
@ Beckenham Thursday 5 June 2008
Back to the one day stuff and a quarter final against the Mighty Men of Kent at their gaff! A full batting line-up of Trescothick, Langer, Hildreth, Blackwell, de Bruyn and Kieswetter is supplemented by John Francis. The bowling is not high on spinners given the weather situation but Wes Durston is brought in to supplement Ian B and the seam of Jones, Phillips, Thomas and Willoughby. Peter Trego is named but surely won't be fit after getting a side strain. He will surely be rested for Friday.
However, if Trigger doesn't play then we will probably see Wes play to add a bowling option and back up the batting. It is likely that Banger will open with our young keeper as usual with Langer at three and Hildreth at 4. Zander may remain at 5 and Ian B will be at 6 after the 158 against Surrey (He may even move up the order). Wes would be at 7 with Jones, Phillips, Thomas and Willoughby. If this tail seems too long then you would expect one of them to be replaced with John Francis. Not a particular favourite of mine as a strategy I have to admit because John is wasted coming in at 8 or 9 with only the tail to keep him company. However today if Trego is injured it is probably the best option available. Which bowler steps down I'll leave to you. Perm any one from three with Charl bringing up the end. I'd say Phillips is probably first choice, just in case Trigger can't make the Yorkshire game at the end of the week.
More tomorrow when we have a better handle on the state of the water in Kent.
Well the water was too much for the organisers on Wednesday. It seems that water got under the covers and therefore the chances of any play at Canterbury in the next two days was extremely slim. Because of this, the game has been moved to Beckenham on Thursday but there seems to be little chance of play there either!! This could literally go to the toss of a coin sometime inthe early afternoon of the 5th

Television for me.
Everything else is cancelled for the day.
Let's hope that doesn't include the game.

I'm at a meeting until 3.30. The plan is record it on Sky+ watch from 4-7.15 whicj will cover the 1st innings, go to another meeting from 7.30 9.30 and then watch the rest from 10 until 1.30,while keeping away , a la Likely Lads,from any hint as to the result!!. If it rains-no meetings Thursday.
I'm really waiting for the game at the Riverside before we start our August tour to Horsham Taunton and even perhaps a side trip to Lords.

According to the Kent CC website, the St Lawrence ground at Canterbury has been left completely under water by flash flooding after torrential rain this afternoon.
It says the ground staff worked throughout the storm in a bid to protect the playing area, but there is now considerable concern over whether play will be possible tomorrow.
Those travelling are advised to check the Kent website at 7.30am.
Fortunately, unlike the earlier rounds, there is a reserve day at the FPT quarter-final stage.

As it is televised I'm sure every effort will be made to get it on.
I've got a seat booked infront of the tele today at my daughters.The grandchildren were not too happy to find they couldn't watch cartoons when they come home from school today.
I think I've got up a tad too early but at least I've stopped them getting the remote and I've put my coat and bag over a front seat so got that reserved.
There may be a chance that I will be required to view new accomadation in which I'll live the next 30 years,God willing but that is not as important as this game is it?
The flat will still be there in 24 hrs but the match won't.As my first manager told me when I started work it's a matter of prioritising things in order of importance.
There is a good chance that I'll be changing my name soon as I've moved out of Bristol to within the old Somerset boundary although it isn't Taunton,but it could be in the town I refer to in my question on PQQ thread.
Let's hope that this is going to be the day I can have my first pear cider for over 6 months as a celebration drink.
A repeat of my birthday last year would be nice although I won't be able to consume that amount of alcohol again without putting my life in serious risk.
Got to watch the units.
What's that all about?
Cheers my Babbies and let's hope everyone either at the game,watching Sky or peeking cricinfo at work have a great day.
I'll be doing my exercises in front of the tele today and maybe doing a few miles on the exrcise bike rather than any other work outs.
Back to bed for an hour or so.Not made my thermos and sarnies yet!

The latest news from the Kent coach Simon Willis at 8.30am today was that the water had also got under the covers and the wicket was very wet.
He said they would probably have got the game on if it was only the outfield involved, but it was now very doubtful for today.

Thank goodness for CJM. Having planned to go to Canterbury today, only to find out about the floods at Canterbury on this site. I have delayed departure. The Kent site reports the floods and advises those travelling to watch their site. So far there has been no news from any of the official sites (Somerset, Kent or Cricinfo). It's very frustrating.
Has the Somerset battle bus set off? Is the match going to be on today or tommorrow? I thought that with this internet thingy you would have lots of instant information but you dont (this is from someone who last updated his own website in February)
Oh well back to sitting in Limbo

Hope they manage to clear it up in good time.

I will be very disappointed if it has to be postponed - I went to a lot of effort to arrange to work at home today, but I can't do it tomorrow!

Very, very impressive 5 minutes on air from JL. I teach leadership as part of a post graduate management course and reckon I'm good at spotting outstanding leaders when I see them. For me, as an expat Ciderman living 250 miles away, I now understand better than before a major reason why my beloved county is doing so well.

It was a piece to camera on Sky Sports, filmed this morning and shown at 12.15 as the presenters explained the abandonment of today's game and its rescheduling tomorrow at Beckenham.
JL talked about his love of the club (and living in/around Taunton), his admiration for both the experienced and oh so promising young players (he ran through most of their names!) and his commitment to "the project" of rejuvenating SCCC. And then we went on to say the most interesting things about the state of English Championship cricket. He said that D1 has proved this season to be as intensive as Grade cricket back in Oz, something that he never thought in his wildest dreams he would see. "Players competing in D1 now are quite ready to go into test cricket", he said.
He ended by saying that he was going to have to make a difficult decision about returning next season, which he would love to do, but taking his family's needs into consideration. His daughter is due to start high school next year and he wants to be fair to her. Sounded 50:50 to me.

He was most complimentary about Andy Hurry and what he has accomplished at the club.
He reckons the attitude of the players is quite extraordinary,their professionalism is unlike anything he has ever seen.
He also stated that the Kolpaks were good for the game,allowing the best English players to compete regularly with the best overseas players.
He reckons that the cricket being played in division one is of a very high standard,as good as anything he has competed in in the past.He feels that the Koplak players play a part in this and the general improvement in English cricket.
It was a wonderful interview,he sounded quite in love with the County.
He has been an absolutely wonderful signing for us.
I'd love to see him with us for a few more years.

Let's not forget starting in 2009 he has a 3 year IPL deal.
"He also stated that the Kolpaks were good for the game,allowing the best English players to compete regularly with the best overseas players."
That's great, but there are fewer english qualified players in teams in a position to benefit.

Yeah, but those that lose out are the more marginal types of players anyway.
Let's face it, if there were many counties that genuinely had 6 or 7 or 8 accomplished English players of a young age, then few teams would have fallen over themselves to sign all these Kolpaks in the first place.

Point taken, but I disagree. It's the 'dropping into the deep end' of players like that which gets them into the position of being regulars.
At any rate, I make no secret of the fact that I would love Mr Langer to be part of the furniture in whatever capacity he so chooses.

Two questions, Grockle;
1) Who's Nick Smythe??
2) Are you (via him) seriously saying that they've switched the game to a ground that is also currently under water?? Or is he simply saying that he's heard a bad forecast for tomorrow?

One player who will not be at all happy with the switch to Beckenham is Martin Saggers.
When the Kent Seconds v Yorkshire Seconds four-day friendly match at Beckenham was called off at lunchtime today to give the ground staff time to prepare for the FPT match, Saggers had taken all nine Yorkshire wickets to fall.
Sadly at his age, the chances of all 10 is highly unlikely to occur again.
By the way, tomorrow`s match will be played on the same wicket. All 10 for one of our lads?

I spoke to the ground and thunderbirds are go for today.
I think that Peter Trego's absence causes a serious imbalance in our one-day team, though. I think Mr Rose will need to look for an additional pace bowling all-rounder during the winter as we have no obvious alternative. Indeed, the best alternative might be a 38 year old, Keith Parsons?

If you click the red button on the BBC site (that is underneath the Kent v Somerset in blue) you should get thru - I think its Radio Kent.
Good luck.

What are the fielding restriction/powerplay rules in this one?
Under 4 an over would appear pretty good with Blackie and a looser field yet to come?
Can't fire up the motor yet, unfortunately. The pub worked last week though too, didn't it! Should I?

Somewhere in the recesses of my remnant of a mind I have a recollection that Beckenham was once Key's home ground. He seems to be enjoying himself there today. That statement is my way of getting him out.

Beckenham is certainly Key's home club, LoL, though I'm not certain this is being played at that club's ground...anyway, could do with getting him out!
