The Guardian think Kent will come seventh. The Cricketer go for a more optimistic fifth, as do Sky Sports, while a member of Kent’s media team told me, simply: “We are winning the lot.”
The upside of coming bottom of Division Two in 2025 is that it’s almost impossible for things to get any worse this time around, although the word “almost” is doing some moderate lifting here. It’s quite possible to go through an entire season without a single victory and Leicestershire went even further by failing to win a red-ball game in either 2013 or 2014.
