KENT V WARWICKSHIRE, COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
FINAL DAY OF FOUR AT EDGBASTON

The 1998 English season is officially over with
Kent losing their final county championship 
match to Warwickshire at Edgbaston by 186 runs.

The county were set 389 for victory but were 
all out for just 202 midway through the 
afternoon.  Ed Smith salvaged some pride for
the county making 58 from 54 balls - ironically
his first half century of the season.

Meanwhile with Kent desperately struggling 
at 126 for 8, Min Patel made 48 from 42 balls
(9 fours) as he put on 66 with Dean Headley
for the 9th wicket, however they could not
prevent the inevitable, as Kent finished 
the season 11th in the County Championship.
