CORNWALL captain Paul Smith got the 'reset' he wanted with back-to-back wins over Devon in a Twenty20 double-header on the Blundell's School ground in Tiverton.

- by CONRAD SUTCLIFFE

After Cornwall finished bottom of their group in the 50-over National Counties Trophy competition earlier this month - a defeat by Devon at Redruth sealed their fate Smith was less than complimentary about his side’s performances.

Speaking immediately after the 50-over defeat at Redruth, Smith said: "A fresh competition will help us reset and bounce back stronger, which we know we can."

And the team responded with two crushing wins over Devon to get their Twenty20 campaign away to a flying start. They won game one by five wickets and game two by an eight-wicket margin.

Said Smith: "What a contrast to a fortnight ago at Redruth we were like a completely different team.
