Southern Brave

First game on Wednesday.

Doesn't feel like a Southern team with only two Hampshire players in.

Southern have Jamie Smith, Rew, Pepper, Rashid and Abel.

Great bowling attack but the batting feels weak IMHO.

Nah, that definitely sounds like a Hampshire team.

By my count there is one Hampshire player (Lumsden) and one Sussex player who barely plays for them (Archer). I’m not having Stubbs. So much for the early talk of it being linked to the counties. We do have 3 Surrey players though.

they’ve also managed to get 4 wicket keepers ! 

not sure I agree with you on the batting - Pepper, Miller, Stoinis, Smith, Rew and Stubbs can all whack it about on their day.

you’ve also got a load of lower order clubbers in Jordan, Archer, Worrel, Rashid who are all more than capable.

looks a decent side to me, but as pointed out none of these have really played together so will need to gel quickly.

Seems to be more stars this year connected to the various multi-owner franchises, not sure any of these sides have any real connection to their counties anymore in terms of players - they all seem to have swapped sides.
