SURREY BROWN CAPS V DURHAM DYNAMOS at the Brit Oval (FPT), 15 MAY
2009
Since losing to Durham by one run up at the Riverside, Surrey have beaten
Yorkshire and Gloucestershire and lost narrowly to Sussex, whereas the Dynamos
have lost twice. So, the form book suggests the Brown Caps can keep alive their
hopes of making the last eight of this season's Friends Provident.
The visitors have only two batsmen averaging over 23.20 going into tomorrow's
contest, so the key for Surrey would appear to be accounting for Dale
Benkenstein and Phil Mustard (202 FPT runs at an average of 33.66) before they
get going. On a true pitch, such as the one at the Oval, Michael Di Venuto and
Ian Blackwell are not be written off, but Will Smith seems to be battling for
every run at the moment.
Other than Blackwell (11 FPT wickets at 22.90 runs apiece), who bowled a
brilliant final over when these two sides met last, Durham's attack has lacked
cutting edge. However, Gareth Breese has bowled economically. Liam Plunkett has
probably been the biggest disappointment for the Dynamos - so far he has gone
for 5.65 an over and collected his wickets at a cost of 48.60.

None worth a mention, as far as I can tell.
Despite another win by the Second Eleven, Surrey have opted to stick with the
same 13-man squad that lined-up ahead to of the win over Gloucestershire.
