You can’t have missed the allegations surrounding the last England/Pakistan Test match in the news. I have to say, I was disappointed with the whole situation.

First nobody can take that record-breaking partnership away from Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad. The allegations had no affect on that partnership - they were still trying to get them out.

But it is disappointing to hear about all this. Everyone knows this sort of thing has been going on for years but nothing major has ever been done about it.

This should be an ICC call, not the Pakistani board. There should be rules to deal with this kind of thing. If found guilty, players should be banned for life. There needs to be a severe punishment.

It is criminal and it is embarrassing for cricket. It puts all of us players in the spotlight. Nobody knows what’s real and what’s not in the game.

On Tuesday, Azhar Mahmood came up to me and Keysey and said ‘I’ll have to take care not to bowl a no-ball or a wide today.’

We all had a little giggle about that one!

I’m disappointed the club have not offered Amjad Khan a new contract. I’m sure if people had a choice of who to face as an opening bowler, Amjad Khan or Darren Stevens, they’d all go for me. What does that say for us next season?

We’ve been told we will be going with 14 players. I understand there are financial difficulties but if you get a couple of injuries then you’re going to be relying too heavily on kids to come in.

I’m nearing the end of my career and want to be in the mix to win trophies. I’ve loved my time at Kent and I don’t want to leave but I’m not sure if we’re going to be competing next season. I only have a short time left and it may be that I have to look at my options.

To be perfectly honest despite our two good wins at the weekend, we’re still unsure about what we would have to do to qualify in the CB40.

Some are saying best-runner-up is decided on run-rate, others that it is on games won.

It would be good to know in advance but no matter what, we have to go out and beat Durham on Saturday.

We’ll go out and try to enjoy it and what will be, will be.
