Brilliant partnership.

If someone - Crane being the most likely - can come to the party, then we've got a chance. I still favour Sussex - the boundary is so small, and our bowling is so weak - but I give us a one in four chance.

Win or lose though, we can't expect Fuller and Holland to do that every game. It's a once or twice event in a competition. Shouldn't disguise that our batting is weak.

We still really miss Danny Briggs in this form of the game, especially when Daws is not playing.

Why, why, why do we do it. Second game in a row. We're weak enough as it is - stop shooting ourselves in the foot by bowling Fuller in the PP.

Now they're both in...
 
If we don't have faith in bowling Currie and Stevenson ahead of Fuller, why have we picked them ahead of Wheal? Wheal has more t20 experience than both of them.
 
Because of no early wickets, and getting so far ahead of the rate, Wright knows that can take a complete zero-risk approach against Crane. Just see him off.
 
It's a shame because the economy rates of Holland, Wood and Crane are really good.

Talk yesterday was that we haven't yet given up hope of getting Afridi in after the 3rd t20 on Tuesday. If we could add him to those three - whether in place of Currie or Stevenson - then suddenly we've got something.

Oh...we've taken Holland off for Fuller!...
 
(Well, it should be Wheal. He's won it at this ground off the final over with less to defend than this.)
