SURREY
V GLOUCESTERSHIRE at the Kia Oval (Royal One-Day London Cup)
19 AUGUST 2022
Having received a savage education from Middlesex and Sussex,
Surrey’s fortunes turned the corner against Somerset thanks to Tom
Lawes' brilliant opening spell with the ball, which backed up his
and Nico Reider and Sheridon Gumbs' efforts with the bat.
Following a slow start to the Royal London, Gloucestershire
enjoyed back-to-back victories over Somerset, Notts and Durham, but
defeat to Leicestershire in their last match leaves the Bristolians
on the same number of points as Surrey.
So, could whoever wins this one make a late bid for a
quarter-final berth? Realistically, no.
James Taylor - Gloucestershire's skipper and leg-spinning all-rounder
- has been a model of consistency, averaging 60.40 with the bat
and 24.50 with the ball in this year’s domestic 50-over
tournament.
James Bracey (60.40) and Marcus Harris (44.33) have also been in
the runs, with Chris Dent, Zafar Gohar, Ollie Price and Ben Wells
all chipping in. Dent, however, looks set to miss the trip to SE11
due to an ankle injury.
Paul van Meekeren has bagged 10 Royal London wickets (average
33.70) for the Bristolians, while slow left-armers Tom Smith (34.62)
and Zafar Gohar (36.62) have eight apiece.

Despite Wednesday's victory over a depleted
Somerset and Gloucestershire going off the boil against Group A
leaders Leicestershire, something tells me the Bristolians have the
batting to out-do Surrey. The key, as is often the case, will
therefore be early wickets.
