Either first thing or give Haddin another hour of batting time, which he needs.

Would have been great to watch Mitch Marsh's innings. It is what it is, a tour match against Kent, but this boy can play!

Let's hope we get to see him cut loose in one of the tests.

Cheers. Just radio, no video?

Henly giving Harris a bit of hammer!

CA appears to have a camera or two there, or maybe Sky does, but it is not being shown anywhere.

Which is weird, if you are going to have cameras at all, why not have a webstream even if it's limited?

cricket.com.au stream a lot of matches as well. Sheffield Shield, Australia A games, I think the West Indies tour matches. It is strange and annoying that this isn't being streamed!

Denly's middle stump doing cartwheels. Siddle on cue!

Anyone know the name of the chick on commentary?

The Windies streamed that tour match.

I'd imagine Kent cbf setting everything up

It's being filmed by someone, there are highlights on the CA website.

They still would have to stream it.

And they might want people in England who are interested in attending to come down and watch instead.

Yes I know. Just pointing out that it is actually being recorded in case you weren't aware. They seem to have a decent crowd there, was funny hearing the (naturally) one sided crowd ooh-ing and ah-ing when the Kent batsmen were getting out.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

First three days were a sell-out at Canterbury. Very popular fixture for Kent as you'd expect.

I doubt streaming it would have affected any turn-up as the weather was so damned good the first three days. Bit grey and dingy today in London.

 

[HBF]

Just caught up with the last couple of days play. Pleased that Watson made some runs. Even happier that M.Marsh made even more runs.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Bell-Drummond slams a ton off 90 balls and destroys the bowling. Not bad for a player who averages 30 at the bottom of division 2..

 

[Donnie Darko]

Who's our next game against?

Essex..
They are division 2 but they do have afew decent players like Reece Topley..

They might not play him, but it would be a shame if they didn't

 

[The_Reaper]

I was looking up Tymal Mills to see if was still playing for Essex but it seems like he has moved to Sussex.

Sadly it also looks like he'll go down the Tait direction http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2015/content/story/879411.html

Yeah he is the one player in their team who stands out as a talent...
Maybe ECB dont want Australia to face anything decent in their build up games..

Mills was a big talent ,but his back problem has ended his prospects...
big shame!!

Only just found this, not sure if it had been posted yet or not -

Chris Rogers
David Warner

Adam Voges
Mitch Marsh
Brad Haddin (+)
Mitchell Johnson
Ryan Harris
Josh Hazlewood
Nathan Lyon

I can see Nevill taking Haddin's spot by the end of the series if he struggles with the bat. I think Watson's time has come, and regular posters on here will know that nobody has defended him more over the years than me. Harris still looks a bit short of a gallop but has another practice game to get miles in the legs and he's quality.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Watson and MMarsh going to play the next match too. Maybe it is a lot closer than I realise. I know Watson has to bowl or he's on the bench.

This.
At least the perception is out there that the selectors aren't just going to gift Watson another series.
