FIRST INNINGS
"At this year's AGM, the Surrey Chairman, David Stewart said that the club was committed to maintaining expenditure on cricket at the level set in 2003. Given the retirement of Mark Butcher and all of the players we have off-loaded, or are rumoured to be off-loading, I'd like to see how the spend in 2010 will be on a par with 2003."

KEENOSE KOMMENTS
"It is unfortunate for the balance of Surrey's championship team that Chris Schofield is so effective with the bat, but having no impact with the ball."

NEWS DIGEST
Gareth Batty said: "I've looked in the mirror and I realised that I have to do what is best for me in my career. For more than a year I have not progressed as I wanted to. I want to give myself every opportunity to get the best out of my ability so that I can think at the end of my career, whenever that might be, I got everything out of my ability. If that happens, I'll be a happy man. It is a shame I have not played as I would have wanted this year and there is no real reason for it, but it's down to me."
