Phil Salt: Sussex Blast final loss still stings - we want to go one better this year
He is talking about Finals Day at Edgbaston in 2018 when Luke Wright’s men beat Somerset in the semi-final and looked in with a good chance to beat Worcestershire in the final, only to lose by five wickets as they failed to build on reducing Moeen Ali’s team to 90 for four in pursuit of 158.
"Finals Day is fabulous but losing in the final isn’t,” says Salt. “You want to win that trophy and it hurts when you get so close. And after going out in the quarter-finals in the past two years, we’d love to get back to Finals Day and win it this year. That’s what we’ll be going all out to do.
