“Our squad have drawn confidence from recent success where we have played some excellent cricket. The players are recognizing and winning more of the critical moments, which is having a huge impact on getting over the line, particularly in tight games like yesterday’s chase at Neath, to edge out Sussex.

“As a group we are simply focusing on enjoying our cricket together, having a lot of fun on and off the field, combined with a fierce determination to keep getting better with every experience.”
