Kent won the toss and put us in.
Thilan Walallawita is in the bowling side.
'The only good banker, is the Lickey Banker!'
I see that Booth is in the team - that's good news.
Also Charlie Taylor, and they are continuing with the experiemnt of Lintott as an opening batsman!

Lintott as opening batter and captain -surely he couldn't replace another opening batter and captain?!
Nightmare on Broad Street :-)

The Captain has got a ton - so, yes, he could be on the rise! A Trophy winning Captain, an opening bat and a cunning left arm spinner - who could ask for more?!

And still can’t make the championship side! Captained the 2nd trophy winning side, six fer last week and now a hundred. One wonders how much door knocking he has to do?
On another tack, was Taz injured last week as he only bowled 2 overs in their second innings on a drying pitch when they needed to get them out?
Good to see a century from Lintott. I would be logical to assume that he tries to improve his batting now the novelty about his left-arm wrist spin has worn off a bit on the first team circuit. good for him - nice example of a growth mindset. Like to see Booth playing as well, I presume Hassan is off for the season now, hopefully Booth takes his slot in the first team roster.
The younger lads here like Dandy, Nahal, Gekis and Taylor played for their clubs Saturday, for our u18's v Worcs yesterday and now this. Graft.
Interesting game developing. Kent need 271 to win on a spinning wicket. Another 50 no for Lintott following his first innings 122. Having another good game for the 2’s! Should be an exciting finish tomorrow with a bit of luck.
A disappointing result:

In the four Seconds Championship games this season, we've lost by 1 wicket, TWICE and 1 run (one clear victory) - what are the odds on that?! Such bad luck.
The one huge positive to take from this game though, is Lintott's 122 & 50no, a 'five fer' and 8 wickets overall (40 overs, 160 runs).
'The only good banker, is the Lickey Banker!'
Yes he had a great game pity the CC ends for a bit now.
And you’ve got to ask the question, do they want to win or give people a go? Had Lintott not gone in at 8 in the second innings he may well not have run out of partners and got stranded on 50 no. Another 20 runs and they could well have won but it seems like “you got a hundred first dig, well bat you at 8 and see if anyone else can do it.” Rather foolish if you ask me, that is if the aim is to win.
"Do they want to win or give people a go? " - I would say that second team cricket has always been trying to achieve a balance between the two. Players need to learn how to win; but it's also a case of giving players the opportunity to show that they are ready for first team cricket.
As captain, I presume that Lintott made the decision to bat down the order. He had bowled 20 overs in the Kent innings and maybe fancied a rest. I remember, years ago, Don Kenyon, when he was captain of Worcestershire, not coming out to open at the end of a long day in the field. When he was asked if he was injured, he said he was suffering from a case of captain's prerogative.
