The Hundred 2022: Southern Brave fast bowler Chris Jordan ruled out of the tournament

Southern Brave fast bowler Chris Jordan, on Tuesday, August 16, was ruled out of the remainder of the Hundred 2022 Men’s competition due to injury. The speedster played three matches in the championship where he picked up three wickets at an economy rate of 8.50.

After taking part in the match against London Spirit, Jordan didn’t make it to the playing eleven against Oval Invincibles on August 14 at the Kennington Oval. His best figures of two for 16 came against the Welsh Fire on August 3.

Apart from Jordan, the Brave also have Craig Overton, James Fuller, George Garton and Michael Hogan in their fast bowling department. Earlier, their premier fast bowler Tymal Mills was also ruled out of the 100-ball championship after he sustained a toe injury.

The Brave have struggled in the Hundred 2022 thus far. After starting off their campaign with a thumping nine-wicket win over Welsh Fire, the team has lost three matches in a row.

In their previous meeting, they lost to the Invincibles by seven wickets. Placed sixth in the points table, the Brave are next scheduled to lock horns with Manchester Originals on Thursday, August 18 at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.

Skipper James Vince has been their standout batter in the competition, having scored 103 runs from four matches at an average of 34.33. However, after his unbeaten 71-run knock in his team’s opener, Vince has scored only 32 runs from three matches.

Fuller, Jordan and Hogan are their leading wicket-takers with three wickets apiece. Their net run rate of -0.968 isn’t among the best by any means.
