SURREY LIONS V
LEICESTERSHIRE FOXES at the Kia Oval (CB 40League), 8 MAY 2011
Leicestershire have not enjoyed the best of starts
in this summer's Clydesdale Bank 40. Losses to Northants,
Warwickshire and Durham have been offset by a 32-run victory over
the Scots. Indeed, one has to go back to 2005 before finding a
season in which the Foxes won more games than they lost in the
corresponding competition.
In their last game the Foxes would have lost to
Durham even more comprehensively had it not been for Jacques du
Toit's 87 off 78 balls. Du Toit has looked effective at the top of
the order, while James Taylor remains the fulcrum at number three.
On another day, the 21-year-old's century against Warwickshire may
well have been a match-winning contribution. That it didn't is down
to Leicestershire's porous attack. Even the normally reliable Claude
Henderson has had his off days, particularly against the Bears, when
he returned figures of 8-0-70-1.

v Leicestershire List A Records sheet as at the start of the
2011 season.
Surrey's Gary Wilson needs three more runs for 1,500 in List A
cricket. For Leicestershire, Claude Henderson is set to make his
250th one-day appearance, Matthew Hoggard has 198 List A wickets and
Jacques du Toit has 985 one-day career runs.
Surrey have everyone fit. Stuart Meaker looks poised to make his
first appearance of the season in the CB40. Despite being the Lions'
overseas player, Yasir Arafat, if based purely on form, would appear
to be the most likely man to make way should Meaker get the nod.

The Lions have won their last five one-day clashes against the
Foxes, who have not started the 40-over season well. Add to that the
drubbing Surrey have just given Leicestershire in the County
Championship, everything points to a win for Rory Hamilton-Brown's
men.
