SURREY V DURHAM DYNAMOS at the Kia Oval (YB40), 9 MAY 2013
It's still early days and, yet,
Surrey are now the only unbeaten side in Group B of the Yorkshire
Bank 40. But how much will the South Londoners be hit by the injury
to new skipper Graeme Smith?
Other than Phil Mustard, with
the bat, and 23-year-old seamer Mark Wood, with the ball, we're also
waiting to see if Durham are capable of reproducing the kind
of form that carried them into the semi-finals a couple of years
ago. If last season is anything to go by their batting strength is
concentrated in Mark Stoneman, Phil Mustard and Gordon Muchall,
since nobody else managed over 155 runs across the entire campaign.
In terms of economy, the experienced Gareth Breese was the pick of
the Dynamos' attack in 2012, while 26-year-old seamer Chris
Rushworth proved to be something of a partnership breaker. One
suspects much depends on the form of Paul Collingwood, who averaged
just 20.66 with the bat and only managed to pick up the one wicket,
for a cost of 161, last term.

v Durham List A Records sheet
as at the start of the 2013 season.
Durham's Dale Benkenstein is set to make his
300th List A appearance, while Paul Collingwood is just five shy of
10,000 one-day career runs.
The squad for this game is still to be announced, but today's news
that Graeme Smith will be flying back to South Africa, to have his
ankle assessed, is a massive downer; especially coming just a few days
after one of the most dominant Surrey one-day displays of all time.

With Graeme Smith unavailable, all bets are off. Durham have had
much the better of their recent one-day forays with the Oval outfit.
The Dynamos have won seven of the last ten meetings to Surrey's two.
The visit to the Riverside in 2011 was abandoned without a ball
being bowled, amidst rumours that Durham's super-sopper had packed
up. Either way, it did Surrey's victorious CB40 campaign a massive
favour. But, I'm beginning to ramble... Surrey
haven't won back-to-back 40-over games since last June, so I've got a feeling this one
could go the way of our friends from the north. Always the
pessimist! Sorry, but I have witnessed far too many false dawns following
the 'rey.
