The Oval for a 20/20 game, in the pouring rain. Kent have a very poor record in this competition so far, and Surrey have an excellent record. So, low expectations for the mighty Kent County Cricket Club. Getting the bus down from Victoria (and getting stuck in hideous traffic), it was teeming down with rain, and I couldn't imagine how play was happening. But, this is 20/20, so the show goes on. Absolutely no way that even a 1-day game would be played in weather like this, but that all adds to the fun.
Sitting in the rain for 2 and a half hours was not immense fun, but we were all reasonably entertained by beer, the prospect of the pub, and some amusing cricket. In the end, a comprehensive win for Surrey, which was what we all expected, and a thorough soaking for all concerned.
