HAMPSHIRE V
SURREY at the Rose Bowl (SSCC1), 5-8 SEPTEMBER 2017
Third in Division One plays host
to fourth. In fact, this round of matches sees 1st take on 2nd, 3rd
play 4th, 5th play 6th and 7th meet 8th. Surrey may have only suffered
the one defeat in this summer's County Championship, but, equally,
their only victory was way back in Week One. Meanwhile, Hampshire,
with three wins, look in little danger of either challenging for the
title or of facing the drop.
Kyle Abbott has been worth his
weight in gold to the Rose Bowl outfit. Not only
has the South African taken 42 championship wickets at 19.47
apiece, but only five Hampshire players have scored more runs this
term. Jimmy Adams (who may have to don the wicketkeeping gloves in the
absence of Lewis McManus) is leading the way with 534 runs at an
average of 48.54. The Hants skipper George Bailey is averaging 37.72 with the
willow while Sean Ervine and James Vince have identical records in
this year's Champo - 514 runs at 36.71.
Gareth Berg (29 wickets at 25.20), who has given Abbott sterling
support with the ball
has also chipped in with 401 runs and England fringe player Liam
Dawson (who is averaging 26.81 with the bat and 30.66 with the ball)
completes the list of potential match-winning all-rounders.
Surrey v
Hampshire - First-Class Records Sheet
Gareth Batty is set to make his 250th first-class
appearance. Scott Borthwick has 199 f-c wickets. Rikki Clarke (398)
is closing in on 400 first-class wickets.
Tom Curran (back) returns to the fold. Jade Dernbach and Conor
McKerr are also named in Surrey's 14-man squad, which is without an
official overseas player due to the calf injury Aaron Finch picked up
in the T20 quarter-final.

They're saying there could be some weather around on days one and
four, which should spell stalemate. Hampshire have nothing to lose,
though. Even a defeat for the hosts would still see them looking
pretty much safe from the drop. But, historically, Surrey have never lost
a County Championship game at the Rose Bowl. More to the point,
three of their six visits have produced innings victories, including
last year's, which kick-started their successful bid to remain in
Division One. All things considered, a draw seems the most
likely outcome.
