Key's cool hand

All those rainy days down at Canterbury have paid off for one member of the Kent squad.

Robert Key, the former England player, came runner-up in a celebrity poker tournament for the sports world last week and pocketed £10,000 in the process.

Key made it through to the Finals table and finished second to snooker's Ken Doherty, who always looks a man who could be a dab hand at Poker, after all he also plays on baize. The Irishman walked away with £20,000.

Ed Giddins and Andrew Flintoff are two other cricketers who are thought to be pretty good at Poker.
