SURREY V ESSEX at the Kia
Oval (Royal London One-Day Cup), 23 APRIL 2019
Eighth in the South Division
plays host to fifth. Essex have won one and lost one, while Surrey
are seeking to break their duck in a competition that has seen them
reach three out of the last four finals. Anything other than a
victory against the Eagles tomorrow will effectively end Surrey's
chances of progressing to the knockout phase.
Even with two of the seamers in England's
provisional squad for the World Cup, not to mention wily operators
such as Morkel, Clarke and Batty, the Oval outfit have so far
struggled to contain their opponents with the ball. While the pick
of the attack Tom Curran now looks odds on to feature in the World
Cup - which gets underway in just over a month - Liam Plunkett could
be in danger of missing out. The former Durham and Yorkshire
speedster has only taken two wickets at an average of 104.50 for his
new county, not least at a cost of 6.74 runs per over.
For Essex, Varun Chopra (with back-to-back
hundreds) and Tom Westley (back-to-back half-centuries) have starred
with the willow. On loan wicketkeeper (Middlesex's) Robbie White has
effected 10 dismissals and promising seamer Sam Cook, who was left
out of the recent four-day clash with Surrey at the Oval, has come
in and restricted the Eagles' opponents to just 5.18 runs per over.
However, Essex's trump card continues to be Australia's Peter Siddle
(5 wickets at 19.60 runs apiece).
None of Surrey's current crop have made a
one-day century against the Eagles. But since swapping Chelmsford for
the Oval, Ben Foakes has played against his former county on three
occasions in one-day cricket, scoring 45, 77* and 84*. With the ball, Liam Plunkett averages 16.57
against Essex in List A cricket.
Surrey v
Essex - List
A Records Sheet
Gareth Batty (249) needs
just one more pole for 250 List A one-day career wickets. Turning to
the visitors, Sir Alastair Cook (5,907) and Simon Harmer (918) are
approaching 6,000 and 1,000 List A runs respectively.
Ryan Patel has been added to a squad that also features Conor McKerr, Jamie Smith and Freddie van den Bergh.
Scott Borthwick (side), Jordan Clark (knee), Jade Dernbach (calf) and Amar Virdi (back)
all remain injured at the same time as Sam Curran has the lucrative
distraction of the Indian Premier League.

This is a must-win game for Surrey (funny, didn't I say that a few
days ago?), but this fixture's recent history suggests they'll have
their work cut out. Essex have won 7 out of the last 10 against the
South Londoners in List A and, even on paper, you would have to
concede that Ryan ten Doeschate's men look the stronger the two
adversaries right now. Prediction - a hard fought victory for the
visitors.
