Not open for further replies.
Our lower-middle order comes to the party yet again but I thought Rob Key played just as well.
Obviously the top order,Sanga in particular laid a good platform.
The bowling wasn't overly impressive but good enough to do the job.
2 in 2 is always a great way to start with.

Southampton Sharks won by 6 wickets (with 58 balls remaining)
  
Player of the match: Ian Bell (Southampton Sharks)
 
I'd say I'm unlucky here all the times.
A good batting (close to being best here ) followed by a good bowling attack on paper, I just can't get why they never perform.:facepalm
 
This is just sad. After 2 warmup wins, you always feel confident about your title defence, but now 2 defeats to start the season is just pathetic. The locals have just been woeful for me with the exception of Swanny.

London Scorpions won by 8 wickets (with 132 balls remaining)
  
Player of the match: Graham Napier (London Scorpions)
 
Now thats impressive work there boys, brilliant opening stand, but the middle order disappointed again, something we are looking to work on now. Bell was just brilliant under the conditions.

The bowling was a true team effort with everyone doing their jobs. Looks well for us now, and hoping we dont choke like we did last season
