If we lose to Surrey's 3rd team I am going to be absolutely fuming
I still say that we should have been very circumspect for the first 10 overs and only try and put balls away that were pies, 1's &2's would have naturally come as would Surrey's frustration.
Anyway agree to disagree. One thing we can say is that we are now in the mire with Somerset's game in hand and points going to them for a draw.
We need beat them to stay up imo.
God knows what has happened above!

McAndrew can bat as well but he then chases after another swinging delivery rather than being watchful.
If we would have tried to see off the first 10 overs without taking any risks, the game would be in our control. Instead we are staring down the barrel of not just a defeat but also relegation. We would still have lost 2 or 3 wickets but once the lead creeps to 260 and the overs start ticking away, Surrey would have become more desperate needing the win.
Yes there have been a couple of bad decisions but we have reverted to type this morning. Yesterday's performance was out of the ordinary for us this season I am afraid.
Our intent today should have been to kill the first 10 overs off and this would have frustrated Surrey and taken time out of them being able to chase a score down.
Instead we come out trying to hit boundaries and are now clinging on................not anymore as the 9th goes down.
McAndrew swishing at an inswinger
8 down now
That is 4 wickets in 25 minutes..........I would to say that you could not make it up but unfortunately you can.
Surrey will have this wrapped up by just after tea.
Terrible stuff from us, even with some poor umpiring.
Was that really out?!
Looked like it was swinging down leg side by some distance to me?
Mind you, Burgess has come out swinging the bat when there is absolutely no reason to do so..........we are throwing all of yesterdays good work away
A 3rd man might help occasionally
We are 40-50 runs light today
Could prove crucial if the pitch continues to offer a bit for the seamers
Our scoring rate is atrocious.
3 slips in at the 50th over..........and not just because they have taken a wicket recently.
The new ball will be due and we will be lucky to have scored 150
Miles 2nd over of the morning was awful.
A single off the first ball that should have gone to the boundary, then 3 wide short balls that Denly for whatever reason decided not to take advantage of and the last ball full and angling down leg side hit me for 4 ball that Denly took advantage of.
It is rubbish, he should not be playing in such an important game when his bowling is so far off the radar.
I was hoping for a longer delay today or a wash out as I can only see a defeat coming for us from this point.
One good partnership for Kent could mean curtains for us in this match.
Miles, Brooks & Rhodes just cannot seem to bowl an over without giving a four ball away. It is too short & too wide.
We should bring Briggs on for a spell to see if that can tie an end down/give them something else to think about rather than only having OHD to turn to.
We need to win this match.
Just after I post OHD takes the 3rd!
We need to win this game to take the pressure off. A couple of draws should then see us staying up.
Terrible season with far too many players just not performing.
Why is Rhodes coming in at no5 when he was opening previously to reasonable effect? It is exposing Benjamin who himself should be coming in at no5.
Sibley will not be part of our team next year so once we are safe we should put him on gardening leave, put Rhodes in up top so that we have a LH RH opening combo and give Yates or Lamb another run.
Miles looks like a division 2 run of the mill bowler this season and with Norwell injured, Briggs seemingly off the pace and Brooks erratic at best it really does not make for a decent line up at all.
OHD & Hain have carried us with the help of Burgess but after them the rest have been disappointing to say the least.
Cracking win
Thought we bowled quite poorly apart from Lintott & Brathwaite in all honesty but our batting was excellent, especially Mousley.
Am I right in thinking that it will take something special from either Northants or Leics to stop us from qualifying, even if we do lose our last 2 games?
Our NRR is so better than those two teams.
Poor stuff from us in this match injuries or otherwise.
We have scored so slowly that the 2nd new ball could easily dismantle the rest of our batting without us getting close to avoiding the follow on.
Negative mindset that has made for a turgid performance. The more balls you face, the more chance there is of getting out.
Northants are a very average side indeed but we are making them look pretty good.
Our middle order are carrying us somewhat this season.
I would like to see Rhodes come back into the top 3, he could replace both Yates & Miles leaving a place open for Mousley or Bethell who can both bowl a couple of overs as well if the conditions suit.
Stirling is no better than Pollock unfortunately.
Wonderful stuff from us...........got no bloody work done today though!!
Good ball or not, Pollock quite often is counter productive.
Now completely on the back foot with Yates now gone half fencing at a ball that he should have just been pushing back up the pitch.

Top 4 is our strongest line up.. so injury no excuse
Really disappointing end to the campaign at this rate
Thought the bowlers did ok considering the injuries
Yep, anything under 180 was decent considering but without a large contribution from Hain we are not good enough I am afraid.
Badly under-performed for about the fifth season on the trot and we do not deserve to go through with some of the spankings we have had to endure.
Not good enough this.
