“No one was too despondent last night. There’s no panic stations or writing on the wall.”

Coach Trevor Bayliss could have kicked bins over and sprayed his players after a number of rash shots outside off stump in pursuit of a modest target of 140. Instead,the former England coach instructed players in the dressing room to let it go.

That’s easier said than done,given the calamitous nature of an innings that lasted all of 30 minutes. But dwelling on the collapse won’t help the group with ambitions of bettering their third place finish at the end of the regular season last year.

“It’s got to make them more determined,” Bayliss said. “You need to go into the next game determined to right the wrong. If we go into the next game thinking about what happened out there it’s going to take longer to get out of it.

“They’re all very good players who have scored plenty of runs in the past. It won’t be easy,but someone has got to go out[against Renegades] and lead the way. We have very good players ... top quality internationals and others who scored plenty of runs last year.

“The talent is there … we need to put it down to one of those things.”

Green said friends and family offered their support after the Thunder were bowled out for the lowest total in all professional cricket since Surrey were dismissed for 14 against Essex at Chelmsford in 1983.

“They support us because of who we are,not what we do,” Green said. “It’s very easy to jump on and throw shade when things go that way but the majority of us have received an outpouring of support and genuine care. There were so many members that hung around after the game for autographs.

“We literally played and missed at one ball. Gurinder[Sandhu] was the only one who played and missed. They bowled well. They hit the right areas well.”
