WELSH DRAGONS V SURREY LIONS at Cardiff (CB40),
2 JUNE 2012
Tomorrow's CB40 clash at
Cardiff sees the Welsh Dragons, who, with one defeat and one no
result, are yet to break their duck,
face Surrey, who boast a one hundred percent record.
In the last three years the
Welshmen have struggled to make an impression in the 40-over arena;
during that time scoring just eight victories to 17 defeats.
Last summer's CB40 provided
just three reasons for cheer. Gareth Rees collected 567 runs from
ten completed innings. 23-year-old seamer, Will Owen took 15 wickets
at 15.53 runs apiece and Dean Cosker, who was the only other bowler
to take ten wickets for Glamorgan, showed he has lost none of his
guile. Perhaps the biggest negative was the form of Mark Wallace,
who has been promoted to skipper. He averaged a mere 11.10 with the
bat in last year's CB40, in addition to less than a dismissal per
match with the gloves.

While Murali Kartik looks set to make his Surrey
debut, Steven Davies, with 147, is closing in on 150 List A one-day
career dismissals.
Zafar Ansari is unavailable, owing to his university commitments,
however Surrey have a pretty handy replacement in the shape of Murali
Kartik. Tim Linley and Gary Wilson have been named in the 13-man
squad, but are only likely to be pressed into action in an emergency.

The weather forecast suggests tomorrow's game will be a stop-start
affair, but that there should be enough dry weather around to obtain
a result. Surrey will start as massive favourites and it would be a
huge surprise if their first defeat in this year's CB40 was at the
hands of the Welshmen. Verdict - Surrey win.
