Everyone is beating everyone else in the T20 Blast, which makes both for a good competition for the fans and ensures high-quality cricket. Kent have got some dangerous players but will also be looking at our dangerous players and if we play how we want to play we’ll be in a good place.
After that we visit Lord’s for the return London derby against Middlesex and then host Sussex at the Kia Oval next Friday night.
It’s quite likely that we’ll play in front of more than 55,000 people over two nights, which is huge and something we’re all pretty excited about.
I certainly feel that we’re a team who play well in front of big numbers of people — we’re used to it given our T20 crowds in recent years — but we’re also a team who want to entertain.
We’ll be missing Tom Curran for the next fortnight or so as he goes off to play for the England Lions. It’s brilliant and well deserved for him but we’ll miss him — and his younger brother, Sam, who will join up with them later in the series.
