He’s in for his batting - listed at dizzy heights of No.8!! |

When was the last time Lancs had a good opening partnership? Without going through all the scorecards, I seem to think we had 80+ against Durham at Blackpool. Not much else though! |

It seems like every time recently one of the openers gets out cheaply. Hopefully Wells and Bohannon can hang around a bit tomorrow and get decent scores. |

Overall I thought we had a decent day, after all, I had hoped our attack might have included Anderson, Mahmood and Wood. Balderson and Wells are certainly showing themselves to be decent wicket takers.
Just hope we can have a decent couple of sessions tomorrow and perhaps get a meaningful lead. I don't suppose I'm the only one who's going to tune in at lunch and see we are 100 for 7.

Vitality County Championship Division One, Spitfire County Ground, Canterbury (day one)
Kent 244: Muyeye 59, Compton 55; Balderson 3-38, Lyon 3-62
Lancashire 38-1: Bohannon 22*
Josh Bohannon and Luke Wells were unbeaten on 22 and 14 respectively at stumps, after Beyers Swanepoel had bowled Keaton Jennings for a duck.
Earlier George Balderson and Nathan Lyon took three wickets apiece for second-from-bottom Lancashire, as they bowled out the division’s basement side for 244.
Tawanda Muyeye was Kent’s highest scorer with 59, while Ben Compton made 55.
The scoring rate soon slowed however. Will Williams found Marcus O’Riordan’s edge in the fourth over and although George Bell dropped him, he’d moved on to just 16 when Balderson had him caught at third slip by George Lavelle.
Bailey switched to the Nackington Road end and got Daniel Bell-Drummond for four but Joey Evison joined Compton and batted through to lunch, at which stage it was 102 for two.
Evison went for 25, edging Bailey to Matty Hurst, before Balderson claimed two wickets in the space of 10 balls. Harry Finch drove him to Josh Bohannon at mid-off for one and Compton fell to an ankle-high catch by Keaton Jennings at second slip.
That left Kent on 124 for five and it nearly got worse for the hosts as Muyeye was on 23 when he pulled Nathan Lyon to the mid-wicket boundary, only to be dropped by Jack Blatherwick.
Having dropped into the middle order after struggling as an opener, Muyeye responded with his first half-century of the season.
Debutant Charlie Stobo joined him and made an inventive 36 before he was bowled by Nathan Lyon, ending a stand of 82 and leaving Kent on 210 for six at tea.
Swanepoel made 19 before he top-edged Lyon behind and Matt Parkinson went for a nine-ball duck against his former county, lbw to Luke Wells.
Lyon then bowled George Garrett middle-stump for three and although Muyeye was dropped again, this time off Lyon by a sliding Williams, he was lbw to Wells in the next over, denying Kent a single batting point and leaving Lancs to face 14 overs before stumps.
Swanepoel sent Keaton Jennings’ off stump flying for an eight-ball duck but he was the only victim, with Wells just surviving a dicey penultimate over from Stobo.

Blatherwick wouldn't get in a pub team. He's quite simply an embarrassment. Surely young Birkman couldn't have done any worse.

Further to my previous comment I’ve now seen on the website that Wood is having his workload managed. I think Jack Blatherwick needs to have his workload managed, he seems to play every game in every format. A bit of R&R followed by a spell in the seconds to work on his consistency would help the team. |

Anderson down at Kent. Bowling before play and at lunch yesterday. Said he was going to play. Did Benkenstein say no, we want Blatherwick. We are never dropping him. Dying to hear the full story and also Bruce. At least Lavelle gets a chance.

At least Luke and Bosh are finally showing some form, albeit it has taken a while. Bosh is actually playing sensibly rather than trying to "Bazball" and funnily enough he is back in form.
Hope they both can kick on and allow the middle order including Lavelle to profit later on.

Trying their off-spinner before Parky. Strange.

Regarding Bruce. All i can think is that because it has not worked out for him then they might as well throw a few young guys in the squad and give them some experience rather than keep picking Bruce and seeing him miserably fail. It cant be any worse and in the long run it will be lot better.
