Team director Paul Farbrace says he will be using Kent’s four remaining Clydesdale Bank 40 games to provide the "confidence and momentum" to help the county’s bid to stay in Division 1 of the LV= County Championship.

The Spitfires face second in the table Notts Outlaws in the final Group C home game of the season at Canterbury on Sunday and while admitting Kent’s chances of progressing to the semi-finals depend on other results, Farbrace is looking at the bigger picture.

He said: "We have got to take each game in isolation, get confidence and momentum from doing well and take that form into our final three championship matches.

"There is an outside chance of still making the last four but it will depend on us winning all our games, and one or two other results going our way.

"If we get enough points to finish as the highest placed runner-up that will be fantastic."

Farbrace will make a late decision on whether to include Azhar Mahmood in the side to face Notts after he was rested from the Championship home game against Lancashire which started at St Lawrence yesterday (Wednesday).

Farbrace says he hopes Robbie Joseph will be fit to bowl again this season. He said: "He had another injection a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t done anything bowling wise and is still suffering from soreness in his shoulder."

Farbrace also hopes that the county will have more talks soon with Amjad Khan about a new contract.
