SURREY V WELSH DRAGONS at the Kia Oval (CB40), 21 AUGUST 2012
While this match is all about
paying tribute to the life and career of Tom Maynard, Surrey could
do with a victory. Indeed, the Oval outfit need to win their two
remaining Group B matches and hope the Hampshire Royals lose to the
Durham Dynamos on Bank Holiday Monday to guarantee a place in
the semi-final draw.
One glance at Glamorgan’s CB40 batting averages
tells a story. Just two of their batsmen have made over two hundred
runs in this year’s competition - 26-year-old Chris Cooke (218 runs
at an average of 31.14) and skipper Mark Wallace,
furthermore no one is
averaging over 32.
While the Dragons’ attack has been more economical
than most, only two bowlers have captured ten wickets
- Jim Allenby
(10 scalps at 15.00 runs apiece) and Simon Jones, who has gone for
6.12 runs per over. The key appears to be Dean Cosker, whose
slow left-arm has so far produced an
economy rate of 4.36.

v Glamorgan List A Records sheet as at the start of the
2012 season.
Three bowlers have one-day milestones in their sights - Gareth Batty
(196 List A career wickets), Zander de Bruyn (148) and Murali Kartik
(248). For the
Welsh Dragons, Mark Wallace is set to make his 175th appearance in
all one-day cricket and Graham Wagg, with 97, is closing in on one
hundred List A career wickets.
Surrey have named an unchanged team, so it should be a case of
"ditto". The news on Chris Tremlett's knee injury isn't good. The
England seamer is thought unlikely to feature again this summer.
