SURREY V GLAMORGAN at the Kia Oval (Royal London One-Day Cup), 6 JUNE 2018

If, by some miracle, Surrey do make it through to the Royal London quarter-finals, don't ask me how they pulled it off. Such were the margins of defeat against both Somerset in the opener and against Kent last week, that wild fluctuations in performance more than a lack of consistency has been the Oval outfit's biggest problem in recent weeks. When a team needs other results to go their way, as Surrey do, it invariably means the table doesn't lie. But a relatively comfortable five-wicket victory over Middlesex means there's still hope of the South Londoners sneaking in through the back door.

Glamorgan just haven't got going in the Royal London One-Day Cup. Other than white-ball specialist and captain Colin Ingram (358 runs at an average of 59.66), there has been a severe shortage of runs. Nick Selman is gradually get to grips with the role of one-day opener, but, sadly, Nye Donald and David Lloyd haven't done anything to suggest they're the answer to their side's top order woes.

With the ball, however, Michael Hogan was as economical as anyone in the competition (until, that is, he picked up a hamstring injury). Lukas Carey's medium pace has also proved difficult to get hold of and Graham Wagg has chipped in with wickets as well as a degree of economy. Looking at the Surrey bowling attack, Gareth Batty (17 wickets at 19.76) and Sam Curran both average less than twenty against Glamorgan.

Surrey v Glamorgan - List A Records Sheet


Scott Borthwick might be waiting to be given his 100th List A outing, but I reckon we can safely say Morne Morkel looks set to make his 150th. Approaching one hundred one-day career wickets are Tom Curran (98) and Glamorgan's Michael Hogan (99), while bearing down on 150 are Rikki Clarke and, for the visitors, Graham Wagg; both of whom have 147 to their name.


Sam Curran returns from the Second Test, no doubt brimming with confidence. That apart, Surrey are as you were.

Surrey have not lost to Glamorgan in one-day cricket at the Oval since 2004; and their overall List A record against the Welshmen in SE11 is P25 W19 L5 and one no result. So, barring a major upset, Rory Burns's men should be too good for the side propping up the South Group table; but what will happen elsewhere? Wins for Hampshire and Kent are what Surrey also need in order to qualify for the knockouts.
