Leicestershire 206 of 7203 to beat Kent by three windows 3
Scorecard
At one point the rain during a break in the game when Rob Key, Captain Kent, was seen on the roof enjoying a cigarette difficult.
Although perhaps not the kind of behavior expected of a professional athlete in this day and age, it is not hard to see why Key would lead to nicotine. Or something much stronger. For it must be so frustrating to try to control the team of Kent at a weaker man could be reduced to peddling his car club on the way home in exchange for publication of mind-numbing.
Kent should have strolled to victory in this game. Scored 203 - their highest total of the season and their third highest in the history of nine years in this competition - they produced a remarkable performance inept with the ball to allow Leicestershire to return to a game that was also High on entertainment value as it were, at times of poor quality. The bowling of both sides were really remarkably small.
Basically, Kent has produced 11 wides - nine contributed with their two foreign players - and a system of long hops and half-volley that gave a chance to put a key field effectively. At one point, Wahab Riaz delivered four wides in five deliveries as the foundation for professionals who deserted the game really should be able to produce better.
There are some extenuating circumstances. The passage way of grace was great - perfect for cricket T20 - and rain left the ball difficult to control. But an attack with four players Kent International could have done better.
"I do not know [what went wrong]," The key was later admitted. "But we did not bowl well enough. We never believed that we would get close, but we did pretty well. I am very, very disappointed."
Leicestershire, of course, deserve. One might suppose that the dark side of their league record this season - and it's really dark - may have lacked the confidence to pursue this goal.
In contrast, however, has produced a fine team performance with the bat, they all seem disinterested research. The end result was the highest successful chase in the history of T20 and their third highest score.
It 'been hard to be pleased with them as a pitch invasion at the time greeting of victory. This is a club which has to be a success since the early years of this competition, and Leicestershire appeared in the first four days of finals and won two of the first four events.
Grace Road, he had not seen the audience of this size since 2006 - the last time they won the T20 - and the possibility of the final day of Edgbaston, and maybe the Champions League appearance, is a welcome oasis in the desert, went in recent years.
In the midst of the crowd at the end of Paul Nixon. Nixon, with 31 from 17 balls, played an important role in the pursuit of performance and now has the opportunity to finish his great career in the style it deserves. The 40, who made his way in early 1989 - before his team mate James Taylor even born - it was his last appearance in a competitive game due to the road before retirement. It is, however, should play in the T20 game directed against India.
And if there was an element of feeling in the decision to name the best player of the match, few returned. Or the adulation he received as supporters delighted Leicestershire raised on his shoulders in celebration.
A win over Leicestershire seemed unlikely in the middle of the game. Martin van Jaarsveld and Azhar Mahmood exceed 130 in just 63 balls - a record for the third window for the county - Kent sacked 120 of the last nine saves in the sleeve and 73 of the last five years. It was a great batting.
Van Jaarsveld (63 from just 32 balls) covered regularly in the long jump, received with contempt, murderers, while Mahmood (91 against 52) hit four straight and six of hitting the ball cleanly deliciously. Leicestershire suffered all players, including Claude Henderson, usually a model of control, dragging the ball and offers a series of long jumps.
But no matter. Leicestershire began at a frantic pace, with Josh Cobb - then hired by his captain as "the cleanest hitter of the ball than anyone in the world" - Andrew McDonlad and feasting on some garbage and a deep fear of Mahmood Langeveldt Charl disappointing.
And even when declined opens Leicestershire, hold their hand right on top of D / L Chase as rain threatened an early end, the likes of du Toit, James Taylor and especially, Abdul Razzaq (with 27 from 11 balls) all went up where their colleagues arrested. By the time Nixon was rejected by the former may Yorkers actual game, the result was beyond doubt.
Matt Boyce pushed the first ball he received in the competition this year to cover the border and were winners Leicestershire with four balls to spare.
McDonald later admitted that his team had "escaped" from his "worst performance with the ball" this season. "We have responded to about 20 runs too much," he said. "And they were below par on the ground, too. It's something we have to work, but we always believed we could win."
The result effectively ends the season Kent raises many questions about their expensive team assembled. Now, it seems highly unlikely that the club will be able to retain part of the highest profile players. In light of the results, like this, however, and supporters are right, if it is a loss so great as it always has in recent times. It 'definitely time to return to the club of young players and start the long-term, sustainable reconstruction activities.
Maybe some people in Leicestershire may have similar concerns. There will be tempted to give this place to succeed desperately disappointing season otherwise. James Taylor's future at the club - an average of less than 32 league because - looks increasingly precarious.
But such worries can wait. There is a time for analysis and a time of celebration. And after a month dark years, Leicestershire deserves a night or two of the celebration, before their attention falls on the day of the final. They will go into it as underdogs, but on the evidence of this performance, it would be foolish to ignore them.
