We always had to play the game and play for the team. It is a Kent tradition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played in Kent's triumphant Second XI Trophy final team last season, ironically against Hampshire 2nds at the Rose Bowl last September, finishing with 2-17 off six overs.
The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other. It helped me in the future where I got to play in 2 cities that were rich in tradition.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without placing on record how much I have enjoyed my cricket with Kent.
Since 1981, I've spent every Thanksgiving Day broadcasting a game, and it is one of my favorite days. You can say, 'Woe is me, I never get to be part of the tradition,' or you can say, 'Heck, we've got our own tradition, and it's pretty good.'
Our teams always play hard.
We signed to play until the day we died, and we did.
The bowl games are only supposed to be a fun reward.
People in Wynne told me I'd never win a game at Memphis and I'd never play in a bowl game. But I knew we'd turn it around.
The actual game is only part of the Senior Bowl experience - the practices are equally important.
It was never a policy of the Kent team that the pitch must be occupied all day after winning the toss.
