Southern Brave is a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in the city of Southampton. The team represents the historic counties of Hampshire and Sussex in the newly founded The Hundred competition, which took place for the first time during the 2021 English and Welsh cricket season. Both the men's side and the women's side play at the Rose Bowl, Hampshire.
History
The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket, while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format. The ECB, however, decided it needed a more distinctive format to draw crowds.
In August 2019 the side announced that former Sri Lanka batsman and 2019 IPL winning coach Mahela Jayawardene would be the men's team's first coach, while former England Women captain Charlotte Edwards was appointed coach of the Women's team. Jayawardene will be assisted by former two former Hampshire players: Former New Zealand international bowler Shane Bond and former opening batsmen and current coach of Hampshire 2nd XI Jimmy Adams, while Richard Halsall will also assist the men's side.
The inaugural Hundred draft took place in October 2019 and saw the Brave claim Jofra Archer as their headline men's draftee, and Anya Shrubsole as the women's headliner. They are joined by England international James Vince and Chris Jordan for the men's team, while Danielle Wyatt joins Shrubsole on the women's side.
The Southern Brave team comprises a mix of experienced international players and promising young talent. The team's captain is James Vince, a top-order batsman who has represented England in all three formats of the game. Other notable players in the team include Jofra Archer, a fast bowler who has played for England in all formats, and Devon Conway, a left-handed batsman from New Zealand who has been in excellent form in recent years.
The team's home ground is the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, which has a capacity of 25,000 spectators. The team's colors are blue and gold, and their logo features a lion with a cricket ball in its mouth.
Southern Brave is considered to be one of the strongest teams in The Hundred, with a well-balanced squad that has the potential to win the tournament. The team's fans are known for their passionate support and are expected to turn out in large numbers to cheer on their team.
