[The Ides of March]

That was a very impressive victory by Hampshire last evening. Looking impressive again in this year's tournament.

The beauty of this competition is that those from Division 2 are as likely to do as well as those from Division 1. Looking at Middlesex, the county where I was born, some of their leading batsmen are failing them yet again in T20.

What a catch by Rossouw last night to get rid of McCullum. Stunning piece of fielding.

Difficult to call. 334 is neither a good nor a bad score. Next couple of sessions will determine which.

Thought Berg's c&b & Carbs boundary catch were impressive as well. Get Afridi going with bat & ball & we'll be a real T20 force.

Root looking good, 52 off 40 balls. 85-2 a lot better than 7-2!
