I said this before but pre series the brave were made favourites due to their bowling attack...

It could well have lost us this match in the first 10 balls
 
This is Rossington's game in a nutshell. Just brute force, all out attack.

Tbf, a lot of that discussion was on Archer, not CDG.

Is archer even going to play a single game in the series? And it seems crazy to make a team favourites due to one bowler but maybe that is just me

Because the rest of the bowling attack seems truly pathetic. One guy doesn’t take you from utterly woeful to favourites

He's possibly back in the next few days. Seems to be touch and go.

It wasn't just Archer by himself. It was the all-round pace attack of Archer, Jordan, Mills and Russell. But with a particular focus on Archer, as the leader.

Not only have we gone without Archer and Russell, we've lost Overton too who was essentially first reserve. The likes of Dawson, Briggs and CGD have been hit round the park. And then to add to that problem, batters no longer need to attack the good balls from Jordan and Mills. They can just wait for the bad balls, knowing that it's CDG rather than Archer (for example) at the other end.

But yeah, this game is long gone.
 
I think Mel Jones saying that we're right back in it is pushing it. We've stopped the bleeding, but that's about it. Need another wicket (or two) very quickly.
 
You've done fine in a Hampshire shirt, Colin. But in a Brave shirt, you are a million miles away from being an Andre Russell replacement. From one of the greatest t20 players on the planet, to...
 
If I was a Spirit fan, I'm by bricking it right now. But as a Brave fan, I just see this as an easy chase still.

Either Mills or Jordan need to something wonderful. Probably both.
