Plus there is real star quality in the emergence of Jofra Archer who can bowl fast, score fast and has a very safe pair of hands. Its time for The Sharks to break the shackles
The 2017 t20 Blast campaign has been shoehorned into the school summer holidays with 14 intense group matches in 40 days. Finals day is on 2nd September at Edgbaston. That in itself will lend itself to huge and excitable crowds at all venues.
