Cricket at Tunbridge Wells – 2

The week has ended very satisfactorily! Monday was a very grey and drizzly day, but we only lost lost a very short period of play. Tuesday was a hot day (by Kent standards), much beer flowed and the best thing was that Kent won the match with a record score.

Those who know about cricket will understand what I am on about.

Here’s the scorecard summary.

Essex first innings 260 all out
Kent first innings 633 for 8 declared.
Essex second innings 166 all out

Kent win by an innings and 207 runs. The score of 633-8 was Kent’s highest ever single innings total for any match played at any home venue and the third highest anywhere. In fact, three of Kent’s highest four totals ever have been scored against Essex.

There are few picures at

For some reason I cannot yet figure out, the thumbnails of the first pictures are not showing but they are there and can be seen if you download. The second few are as per normal.
