Sussex Sharks captain Luke Wright hit 92 against Somerset

Luke Wright admitted to a jug avoidance offence after smashing the highest individual score ever made on a T20 Blast Finals Day.

Wright carted the Somerset attack for 92 from 53 balls in Sussex Sharks' semi-final clash at Edgbaston on Saturday, setting up a 35-run victory and a date with Worcestershire Rapids in the last two.

He could not quite reach his eighth T20 century but, in an interview with Sky Sports, the former England international revealed that he was not too bothered.

"Just enough not to have to buy a jug tonight, to be honest," he said.

"Got to save the wallet these days as I’m getting a bit older.

"It would have been nice to get there but you’ve always got to look after the team. You can’t just be knocking it around to get your hundred."
