Admittedly a few games sussex should have won and didny but even still. Its all @WalkingWicket37's fault

Maiden t20 ton for boom boom

Big game and Boom Boom steps up. Always should have opened in T20s with the powerplay.

That's how to hit a cricket ball!!

Afridi 101 of 34 balls Hampshire get 8th highest t20 score anywhere and  i the third highest in the UK.

Afridi scored 101 of 42 but still a very very destructive knock, 249 will i hope be completely insurmountable for derbyshire

About time Afridi fired with the bat!
Maybe he was on a salary for the group games, then paid on a performance basis for any games past that...

You could argue the boundaries are too short.....but passers by outside the ground seem in most danger

It's basically Kolpac CC's in the T20 quarters! More SA's in all the teams than English I reckon!

"I asked the captain and coach yesterday if I could bat higher up the order because seven or eight is not my position," Afridi said, after his brilliant 101 - his first century in the shortest form of the game - set Hampshire on their way to a seventh finals day in eight seasons.

"In crucial games you have to take chances. The first six overs are important and you need batters who play aggressively like me to utilise this.

"I wanted to put pressure on them from the start although it was not easy because the new ball was seaming. The first six overs are important and I tried to start on the attack."

Hampshire all-rounder Shahid Afridi tells Sky Sports:

"For the whole season I've not been feeling right, at about 60 or 70 % fitness because of my lower back and side.

"This is a crucial game, so I thought I had to take a chance. I'm never afraid of failure, I was waiting for that opportunity."

Bit surprising Ingram can't get in the SA side. Every time I check the scores he gets runs. Even in the SA domestic stuff

Always good to see Trego put in his place
