LEICESTERSHIRE V SURREY at Leicester (Royal London One-Day Cup), 26 JULY 2015
Like Surrey's Gary Wilson, the
Foxes are currently missing Niall O’Brien and Rob Taylor owing to
international calls, which means only 22-year-old all-rounder Tom
Wells comes into the One-Day Cup with any tangible limited-overs
batting form behind him. Mark Cosgrove was Leicestershire's leading
run-maker in the T20 with 299 runs at an average of 27.18. But,
Wells and Cosgrove apart, the hosts' batting line-up for this match
is unlikely to worry Surrey, who, of course, know all about
Epsom-born Michael Burgess.
Australia's Clint McKay was the
fulcrum of Leicestershire's bowling attack in the NatWest T20 Blast.
Ben Raine, who matched McKay's 14 T20 wickets, remains one for the
future. Indeed, one can see the Foxes using the remainder of the
2015 season to give a number of youngsters the chance to get
valuable experience under their belts. Opener Aadil Ali and
off-spinner Rob Sayer, both 20-year-olds, seem likely to start
tomorrow (weather permitting). But Charlie Shreck, who played no
part in the Twenty20s, returns to offset what appears to be an
over-reliance on youth.
If he plays, Leicestershire's Michael Burgess
will be making his county debut. Burgess, a 21-year-old
keeper-batsman, who was, until recently, on Surrey's books, has four
first-class appearances behind him - for Loughborough MCCU.
Three names have been added to the eleven that lost at Lord's in the
NatWest T20 Blast last Thursday - James Burke, Aneesh Kapil and Tim
Linley come in, while Azhar Mahmood bows out to end up with a 13-man
squad. Azhar has now played a total of 70 T20s for Surrey, averaging
25.13 with the bat and 23.86 with the ball.

The weather forecast for tomorrow points to a 100% chance of rain,
which usually means you really can forget it. That would be
unfortunate for Surrey, not just because Leicestershire are the
competition's outsiders, but also because the Oval outfit have won
each of their last seven against the Foxes in List A cricket.
Prediction - no result, sadly.
A Robson, A Ali, M Cosgrove (capt), N Eckersley (wk), B Raine, M
Burgess, T Wells, C McKay, R Sayer, O Freckingham and C Shreck.
