Although our first innings has been poor as usual, I actually think our bowling unit is as big a problem this season as it is just simply so inexperienced. Freckingham has done very well, but it is asking a lot for them to be sustaining spells of good bowling against players like Rob Key. Nathan Buck still seems to be lacking a knack of taking wickets too.
Kent's two unbeaten batsmen marched off in the best conditions of the match at 6pm, leaving disgruntled supporters to bring into question the Championship's playing conditions.
While in Test matches any day's play can be extended for 30 minutes to partially make amends for rain delays, Championship rules do not allow for time lost to rain on subsequent days to be made good, despite the loss of a total of 169 overs on the opening two days at Tunbridge Wells.
