Diary of a Cricket Season: Sunday August 2nd, 2026.
Kent, 294-5, beat Notts Outlaws, 293-9, by five wickets.
Kent boast an impressive array of partners, or sponsors as they were called in old money, but at this rate they might want to consider teaming up with an official anxiety medication partner, because for the second time in three days they put us through the ringer, getting home with just four balls to spare.
In modern List A cricket, on a wicket with Beckenham's reputation, a side chasing 294 is always going to be considered the favourite, but the dynamics of any run chase mean you're only ever a couple of wickets away from danger.
