I'm still playing ECB Prem now in the Northern League. Big step up in my eyes. Nice playing at better grounds (mostly). Usually the difference is that the clubs are run more like businesses, unlike the majority of village teams.

I played against a team who were 2nd in the West of England Premier League last week, and to be honest I didn't think the bowling was too different from our league. However the batting was ridiculous, ex-Gloucestershire/Somerset batsman whacked it everywhere and they won by 10 wickets lol!

The Kent premier is full of ex (or current) county players, few ex-internationals in there as well

Kent Cricket League Premier

Who do you play for Jenko?

Not played against premier-level opposition in the UK, but have done in Jamaica (and county level), and found that as a bowler I was fine, bowling line and length with "wibble-wobble", but as a batsman, well, the less said the better really.

Jenko plays for Mote, he's mentioned somewhere else recently

Yeah it's similar in the Wepl. In premier one there tends to be a lot of 2nd xi or current county players. Whereas prem 2 and our division tend to have more ex-county players. Its a good experience playing against them

Some of the money that is rumoured to be paid to certain players in the kent prem is astonishing. Wonder how it is in other premier leagues?

Not 100% percent sure to be honest... Anything would be nice for doing something that you enjoy!

I've heard crazy amounts being paid to Chris Peploe to play for Ealing in the Middlesex Premier League!

Yeah I am at the Mote, not exactly setting the world on fire. The bowling I have come up against is class. This weekend we have Bromley and I am led to believe they have a couple of chaps who have played at a few counties/england squad. Wouldn't know though really. Huge step up from playing country grade cricket in Australia, which is why I came over here though - to improve myself. You either relish the opportunity to play against quality opposition and use it to improve, or drop down and play in a weaker comp/don't improve. Personally I love facing the quickies, have played 2 games for the Mote 1's since changing clubs, played myself in nicely against the quickies only to get out playing completely dumb shots against the spinners.

Our 1s got a losing draw against Bromley last week. They aren't as strong as previous years she they have had a ridiculous line up but are still a force to be reckoned with!!!

Do you reckon Matt Coles will be allowed to turn out for you this season at all?
