SURREY LIONS V
DERBYSHIRE PHANTOMS (TSL2), 17 JULY 2005
Derbyshire are something of a bogey side as far as Surrey are concerned. As well
as losing two out their last three meetings with them (and only scraping a win
in the third), the Ovalites have not beaten the Nottingham Road outfit in
one-day knockout cricket since 1986.
The Phantoms will be without
left-arm seamer Kevin Dean following a freak
injury at the club's golf day in the week. Dean was
playing with a group of fellow players at Horsley Lodge, when his electric buggy
rolled on a slope. He dislocated his
left elbow in the accident and had
to be hospitalised overnight.
However, the visitors will have Australians Michael Di
Venuto and Joe Moss. Di Venuto has struck two one-day hundreds this season,
while Moss has been Derbyshire's most consistent performer with the bat with 360
runs at an average of 40 in List A cricket. Opener Steve Stubbings has come good
of late, but, otherwise, the batting order should not hold too many fears for
Azhar Mahmood, Tim Murtagh and Co.
Moss has also been the Phantoms' star with the ball. He
will be supported by the frugal Mo Sheikh and partnership-breaker Ant Botha, who
currently has 19 wickets at 18.36 runs apiece in List A one-day cricket this
summer.
Even though my beloved Lions have only tasted victory in one out of their last
four one-day outings and, for that matter, just three of their last 13 totesport
League fixtures, I cannot see the Phantoms spooking them tomorrow.
In recent weeks Mohammad Akram, Martin Bicknell, Jimmy Ormond and Graham Thorpe
have been rested whenever a meaningless one-dayer has come along. However, in
the last week or so Surrey's bowling attack has appeared a bit ring-rusty. So,
it will be interesting to see if Steve Rixon sticks to his rotation policy with
crucial contests coming up this week in the Twenty20 Cup and the championship.
If you want my opinion, I think he'll go back to the likes of Neil Saker and Ian
Salisbury for Derbyshire's visit to the Oval.
M Di Venuto, S Stubbings, J Moss, J Bryant, L Sutton (capt, wk), G Welch, T
Friend, T Lungley, A Botha, A Gray and M Sheikh.
