Performance of the Day - Kent
Although Warwickshire were very much authors of their own fate as they failed to win any of their last 13 Championship games(!) to tumble down to Division Two, Kent didn't know that three days ago, as they lined up to face title-chasing Hampshire at the Rose Bowl.
Kent batted first and were led (as so often) by van Jaarsveld with 112, supported by Rob Key's 84, Geraint Jones' 63, James Tredwell's 62, Joe Denly's 54 and some useful knocks from the others. The bowlers took over to dismiss Hampshire twice in 164 overs, with the admirable Tredwell bagging eight wickets, supported by the seamers and the occasional spin of van Jaarsveld and Denly. A ten wicket win for a team who can now claim a very good season - conversely, Hampshire's season appears to have run out of steam at just the wrong time.

Hampshire have lost the title that was theres for the taking,that must hurt warney real bad.Well played Kent,so now its realistically between w***yshire and Sussex,so even though i dislike Chris 'judas' Adams for obvious reasons,nothing can compare that to my hatred of Lancashire,its enough to make me break out into a chorus of 'sussex by the sea',then again maybe not,i will be supporting Surrey though next week,c'mon the brown caps!
