Surrey Phil May 2023 8:04pm, 26 May 2023 9,400 posts	0 Surrey Phil Brilliant recovery after a mediocre start. Abbott's previous top score in T20 was 41. Twitter also says that he has equalled the fastest T20 hundred in the competition (34 balls).
Surrey Phil May 2023 8:10pm, 26 May 2023 9,401 posts	0 Surrey Phil Sunil Narine and Jamie Overton did not bat. Inspired captaincy by Sam Curran? Another thing note regarding Abbott's innings is that, once he reached his century, he only scored ten more off seven deliveries.
Surrey Phil May 2023 9:41pm, 26 May 2023 9,402 posts	0 Surrey Phil Was a bit worried by Kent's opening stand. Got there in the end!
ThorntonRunner May 2023 11:05pm, 26 May 2023 6,748 posts	0 ThorntonRunner Excellent all round performance by the Blaze against Central Sparks, but then no surprise that Leics weren't up to scratch against Warwickshire. Enjoyed my day though
Surrey Phil May 2023 9:11am, 27 May 2023 9,405 posts	0 Surrey Phil Why is it that a lot of counties aren't adopting a nickname in the T20 Blast? I think the trend started when the defunct National League started and only 12/18 seem to have kept them. Correct me if I am wring but I remember Surrey Lions/Brown Caps, Durham Dynamos, Somerset Sabres, Glamorgan Dragons, Gloucestershire Gladiators and Middlesex Crusaders. Then there have been some changes: Worcestershire Royals and Yorkshire Phoenix/Carnegie.
