Timely to have some positive sport news…
Good stuff. Ellis was particularly good last year, i thought. Saints could do with the mindset Hampshire had for the last 8 games of the T20 last year!
Ellis was superb in the Big Bash in Dec - Jan too
But McDermott was decent too, so good to find another opening bat
