Kirtley’s comments

“We’ve had some great home form in this competition, now the challenge for the team is to go out and replicate that form in these two away games.

“We need to play with the same belief that we have done recently and to continue to play the same style of cricket over the next two matches, before we take on the current table leaders back at Hove.”
