The Southern Brave team is known for its aggressive and fearless brand of cricket, which is reflected in their team motto, "Brave by name, Brave by nature". The team has a strong fan following and is expected to be one of the top contenders for the Hundred title.

Can't post the article as it's behind the Telegraphs paywall but looks like the reports of the Hundreds demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact it's going to be even BIGGER from 2025. Counties want the tournament expanded to 10 teams and the individual franchises will be able to be...
Welsh Fire looked hugely impressive in despatching an under par Birmingham Phoenix. We're going to have to be at our very best to got a much needed win at Sophia Gardens on Saturday.

The comparison with the Ashes is that The Hundred has zero tolerance on laddish and loutish behaviour to generate a truly family friendly inclusive environment. Audiences whilst not yet absolutely full, and despite the horrific weather have still been good, and as the tournament builds and...
Shame the game tonight rained off, was shaping up to be a good watch.
Simon 'Doully' Doull sats if you can't get excited about the Hundred then you're just not interested in cricket.
Big Nass seemed to think plenty had bought tickets but not turned up because of the horrendous forecast, he was encouraging them to get down there as looks like we will get a full game in. Nice to watch this one as a neutral and just enjoy the cricket but you can tell there is no love lost...
Tonight's game should be a good watch with local bragging rights at stake between the two London clubs. Nick Knight described it as the biggest night in the domestic cricket calendar.
India lobbied for this a while ago if I recall, they absolutely f***ing love ODI's. So they wanted to change each test match at each venue as 5 single back to back one day games and the winner of this group of games would earn the 'test' win, then onto the next venue for the same so in effect a...
And the players and ex players who all seem to love it. Simon 'Doully' Doull said it was the highlight of the sporting summer. Nick Knight thinks it's a fascinating watch, Nasser loves it.
On the audiences, over 15,000 there last night, it's not as raucous as a test match but they are trying...
Well that was bitterly disappointing, fair play to the Rockets they showed why they are defending champions and why Trent Bridge is such a fortress, can't see many winning there. Onwards and upwards Brave fans.
Well our batting has been very timid tonight so you're definitely a Southern Brave man. Desperately disappointing we've wilted under the pressure of facing the reigning champions in their backyard.
You're a Southern Brave man, they represent the South coast.
Feel like we've let this one get away from us a bit, looked like we were going to restrict them to under 120. Still a very gettable total but we will need to bat well.
Trent Bridge is absolutely rocking, their theme song 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing' being roared out by some 15,000 plus Rockets fans is something to behold, this is going to be a tough night for us, nobody wants to lose their first game, immediately puts you on the back foot.
5 minutes to go....
Our Southern Brave line up for the opener, put into bat first: Danni Wyatt, Smriti Mandhana, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole (c), Mary Taylor, Rhianna Southby (wk).
Expecting big things from a whole hearted...
Well the Ashes may have been the starter, and what a starter it was but now it's time for the main course of the cricketing summer as The Hundred takes centre stage.
:O
Our very own Southern Brave kicking things off tomorrow night with a tough looking trip to Trent Bridge to take on the Trent...
