Musings about sports in general, & Cricket in particular. With baseball season coming up, will look into that, too. And lots of good cricket in 2007, including the World Cup.

An emphatic century from Carl Hooper has thwarted Kent's hopes of a second successive Championship win at Stanley Park. Resuming the final dat 347-7, the hosts lost their last three wickets in the space of four runs and were forced to bat again 237. And when when Martin Saggers took a trio to leave the hosts 12-3 an innings defeat appeared inevitable. But Mal Loye and Chris Schofield both produced solid innings in concert with the former West Indies captain, whose first ton for the county was his 63rd in first-class cricket. Hooper moved to three figures off 191 balls, with successive fours of Rob Ferley. And he lofted the slow left-armer for a fourth six to take Lancs into the lead, effectively sealing a draw that keeps the Red Rose county third in the Championship.
All of this leaves Kent right on the cusp of relegation; Murali can't arrive soon enough!
Was going to chat a bit about the Australia-Bangladesh Test, but not much to write home about. Australia is kicking serious butt with little trouble from the newest Test member. I don't really have the heart to comment much more on it.
