ESSEX EAGLES V SURREY BROWN CAPS at Chelmsford
(Pro40
League), 5 AUGUST 2008
Of late, Surrey have endured a woeful record against Essex in limited-overs cricket, with
only one victory out of their last nine clashes with the Eagles if one chooses
to include the Twenty20 Cup. It also seems incomprehensible that a side of
Essex's one-day prowess should even be in Division Two of the Pro40 League. In
short, the Brown Caps will start tomorrow night's clash as lengthy outsiders.
The Chelmsford outfit boast five batsmen who are averaging over 38.00 in List
A cricket this summer. The good news is that Surrey will probably be spared
facing three of them - Ravi Bopara and Alistair Cook, who are in the England
squad for the Oval Test, and Mark Pettini, who is nursing a groin strain. That
said, the visitors will still have to work out how they're going to account for
Jason Gallian and Ryan ten Doeschate cheaply. That done, next there's Graham
Napier and James Foster to set a trap for. Good luck Ramps!
The Essex attack isn't shabby either. David Masters and James Middlebrook
have gone for less than five an over in List A cricket this term, while Danish
Kaneria, Napier and ten Doeschate have all been amongst the wickets. That said
Masters, with 15 victims at 22.86 runs apiece, with a best of 5-17 against the
Brown Caps in the Friends Provident Trophy, leads the way.
