Samit Patel was at his brilliant best in T20 cricket last summer, make three half-centuries in total, including on a crucial Finals Day against the Birmingham Bears as the Outlaws won the title for the first time.
In fact, each of his three fifties came against the same opposition last year, Birmingham Bears, who are the same team the Outlaws face in the Vitality Blast opener on Wednesday.
