SURREY LIONS V HAMPSHIRE
ROYALS at Whitgift School (CB 40League), 22 MAY 2011
Every year since 2005 Hampshire have avoided
losing more matches than they have won in the Clydesdale Bank 40 and
its predecessors. But the start to the Royals' 2011 campaign looks
likely to reverse that trend. Hampshire's only victory to date came
in their curtain-raiser against Warwickshire. Even then, the Rose
Bowl outfit scrapped home by three runs thanks to Neil McKenzie's
blistering 87 not out off 69 balls.
To date, only McKenzie, Liam Dawson and Benny
Howell can point to any real form with the bat in the CB40. But it
would be wrong for Surrey to under-estimate Jimmy Adams, who is
averaging 11.66, Dimitri Mascarenhas, 10.50, and Sean Ervine, who
averages a paltry 8.00 with the willow.
With the ball, while Simon Jones has proved to be
something of a partnership breaker, only Mascarenhas has exercised
any control. The former Royals captain is the only man conceding
less than 4.98 runs per over in the CB40. His successor, Dominic
Cork is currently nursing a record of one wicket for 146 at an
economy rate of 5.40, on top of a batting average of three. Ouch!

season.
Matthew Spriegel goes into tomorrow's encounter with 933 List A
one-day career runs.
Stuart Meaker is suffering from a pulled hamstring and Jade Dernbach
is on England Lions duty, so there will be at least two changes to
the Surrey side that beat Scotland by 48 runs last weekend. Tom
Jewell, Chris Jordan and Tim Linley are lining up to take their
chance. But, somewhat surprisingly, Kevin Pietersen is not set to
line-up against his former employers.

I never thought I would be predicting a CB40 "double" over
Hampshire, but the momentum is most definitely with Surrey going
into this game, which will be the Lions' last the Clydesdale Bank
for eight weeks. That's the madness of the domestic fixture list for
you. Anyway, it would be superb if Rory Hamilton-Brown's men could
register their best start to a one-day campaign since 2003.
B Howell, J Myburgh, J Vince, N McKenzie, S Ervine, L Dawson, D
Mascarenhas, D Cork (capt), M Bates (wk), D Briggs and S Jones.
Richard Kettleborough and Graham Lloyd.
