I also hope that someone at Hampshire has been on the phone to Abbas, to stop him flying straight back to Pakistan once he's finished in the WI next week (the final day of their test series is on Tuesday).
Qais Ahmad wins it for the Fire with the bat, which considering what’s happening at home is quite something. Spirit lose yet again.
Slightly surprised that Briggs makes way. But I suppose that he didn't trouble them at all in the group stage. And whilst I have no idea how good it is, David does now offer us another spin option (or so I understand that's what he bowls). Surrey gave him a full set of 10 the other day.
Especially not with what's to come for us. Big risk to play it safe for a bit, and hope to cash in at the end (ie the traditional way to overcome early wickets).
