1st XI captain takes on the Aussies!

Piers Richardson (6a, Mitchinson’s), 1st XI captain and Kent Academy cricketer, bowled to the Australian touring side in the nets at the St. Lawrence ground on Wednesday last week, ahead of the tourists’ four day match against Kent. Piers then acted as 12th Man on the first day, spending much of the time in the field which allowed him the opportunity for a close up view of the techniques of captain Michael Clarke, and other test batsmen Steve Smith, Chris Rogers and Shaun Marsh.
