A lot of cloud cover on that day
Orr has had some start to his career - two 50s and a ton in his first three games.

To be fair, Orr and Haines set us up pretty well in the forst innings with an opening stand of fifty.
Anyway, congratulations to young Orr - two 50s and now his maiden century in only his third first class match - some going!

Interesting, I sadly had a stupid O'Clock start and was in Sittingbourne by 8AM under very cloudy skies. Even had a bit of drizzle around midday.
Would have thought the ball would have been hooping for most of the day but clearly not!
203-0
Orr gone for 119. Now the collapse begins ..........................................!

230-2, or as Head is coming in, 230-3...

250 lead, that is plenty against this Mob. Expect we will have a few more Overs in the morning just to piss off Kent by making them field again.
Would have thought that with wickets in hand it would be a good time to open up and set a target of 300 ASAP - wou;d make no difference if we declared with 2 wickets down, or 8 or 9. In fact, if we lost a few wickets whilst going for the runs, it might give the Kent batsman a bit of a worry that there is something in the pitch.
Edit: Blimey - they're doing it! Head hits 16 off three balls! 21 off the over!

277-3 at Stumps. 293 lead.
Commentators think we need 50 more runs in the morning. I don't...

Actually it was 200 plus!
It's time more than runs that matter now. We need enough time to bowl them out. Twenty minutes (no more) of T20 type thrash in the morning (no more), never mind if we lose half a dozen wickets - and then inleash Robinson and co. on them!

According to someone on Twitter. Seems too random to be made up.

I once happened to see that somebody had changed Graham Thorpe'a nickname on Wikipedia to "****** man".
Never underestimate the internet's ability to make up complete crap.

Looking forward to today, a good chance of a win.
As an aside, anyone see that James Bracey managed to let through 48 byes in the Hampshire innings? To think that he was England wicket keeper just six weeks ago - he was shocking then. Incidentally, there were 81 extras in the innings - second top scorer - not a good day for Gloucestershire.
I remember a match about 45 years ago when poor Alan Mansell let through about 40 byes to Tony Greig's off-cutters and Greigy made his displeasure known. TBF, the ball was doing a bit but it wasn't a happy day for Mansell - we got Arnold Long next season

Brown delayed his declaration for too long last week and it looks like he's doing it again. I don't understand this at all
