SUSSEX SHARKS V SURREY LIONS at Hove (CB
40League), 4 SEPTEMBER 2010
Not even Kevin Pietersen could help maintain
Surrey's hopes of making the last four of the Clydesdale Bank 40, so
the only thing riding on this contest is whether Sussex can sneak a
semi-final place. But even if the Sharks prevail tomorrow, they will
only progress if Yorkshire beat Essex, in Group B, up at Headingley.
With Michael Yardy, who is averaging 72 in the
CB40, away on international duty, the home side will be without
their captain and, arguably, their most dangerous batsman. That
said, Sussex's opening pair - Chris Nash (404 runs @ 40.40) and Ed
Joyce - are averaging over forty in the competition; as are both
keeper-batters Matt Prior and Andrew Hodd.
James Kirtley, who is set to make his final
appearance for the Martlets, has led the way with the ball for the
Sharks in this summer's CB40; taking 21 wickets at 19.76 runs
apiece. But other than the two spinners - Monty Panesar and Ollie
Rayner - the Sussex attack has not always been economical.

v Sussex List A Records sheet as at the start of the 2010
season.
Sussex's Chris Nash is set to make his 50th appearance in List A
cricket.
Don't be surprised if Surrey rest Ramprakash and Tremlett, which
could mean the likes of Jason Roy, Matt Dunn and even Zafar Ansari
getting a game.

Surrey have lost three out of their last four in the CB40 and the
one game they did manage to win was only against the Unicorns. So,
with Sussex harbouring hopes of a place in the last four, they'll
have much the greater incentive. Verdict - Sharks victory.
