While Kent were dodging the downpours at The Rose Bowl, David Fulton found himself in a poker game sitting next to Shane Warne, whose vast wrath Fulton felt last September when that 1,000-1 shot of an arranged chase handed �.. as Warne saw it �.. the Championship to Nottinghamshire at Hampshire�..s expense. �..I felt a bit uneasy at first,�.� admits Fulton, now �..thoroughly enjoying�.� a life of reduced responsibility. �..Eventually I asked �..Are we going to talk about this?�.. He
grunted, so I said, �..I presume I�..m not forgiven.�.. He said: �..No. We move on but I�..m still shitty about it.�..

�..Shane said it was a ridiculous chase. I said we did have a chance, however slim, and that, as it was our only route to winning the title and I�..d made up my mind it was my last season as captain, I had to go for it. Still, our relationship was back on an even keel. I took all the money on the last hand, though, which was quite satisfying.�.�

There was no Kent generosity in this game, though. �..Keysy didn�..t want to know,�.� said Warne after offering a run chase. �..We got down to 240 off 65 overs but they still weren�..t interested at all. If I was offered that I�..d take it anywhere in the world.�.�
