Napier holds the key
Essex ace Graham Napier can smash his side to the final of the Twenty20 Cup and 6/5 (totesport) is worth taking.
The 28-year-old blasted 152no from just 58 balls in a group match against Sussex, which included a world record 16 sixes, and he is the man semi-final opponents Kent will fear the most.
The Spitfires have a strong batting line-up of their own and an explosive clash is likely at the Rose Bowl.
