SURREY
V HAMPSHIRE at Guildford (Metro Bank One-Day Cup)
20 AUGUST 2023
The side propping up Group A plays host to their second-placed
neighbours, Hampshire, who need just one more victory to add to the
five they've already notched up in the Metro Bank to be certain of
progression to the knockout phase. The manner of Surrey's defeat to
Lancashire in the same surroundings on Thursday suggests Nick
Gubbins' men may not even break sweat.
Hampshire's batting has been dominated by Gubbins (360 Metro Bank
runs at an average of 60.00) - who is skippering in James Vince's
absence - Fletcha Middleton (278 at 46.33), who looked every inch a
future England batter when Hampshire travelled to the Oval at the
start of the season, and Tom Prest (225 at 37.50). 19-year-old
Joseph Eckland (45.50) and 21-year-old Toby Albert (32.00) have also
grabbed their opportunities with the bat when they've come along.
The Ageas Bowl outfit also boast five bowlers averaging 24 or
less in List A this year; albeit two of them, Mason Crane and Brad
Wheal, have struck when not required in The Hundred. Ian Holland (9
Metro Bank scalps at 17.44 runs apiece) has been the stand-out
operator, but watch out for 17-year-old Eddie Jack (who has 7
wickets) and fellow seamer Scott Currie (who has taken 8 in this
summer's One-Day Cup).

If he plays, Tom Ealham
will be making his county debut. Ben Geddes (487) and Cameron Steel
(488) are closing in on 500 List A career runs.
Nineteen-year-old all-rounder Tom Ealham (son
of Mark and grandson of Alan, both Kent stalwarts) comes in for Tom
Lawes, who has been recalled by the Oval Invincibles. By way of a
reminder, Jordan Clark (hamstring), Matt Dunn (hamstring), Ben
Foakes (ankle) and Yousef Majid (hamstring) are all sidelined.

Given that Surrey have lost 11 out of their
last 14 in List A cricket, most of them heavily and most after
batting first, it would take an ultimate optimist to predict
anything other than a win for Hampshire. It's just a shame that the
fight shown by the Oval outfit at Welbeck and York disappeared in
less than 60 overs when Lancashire rolled into Guildford this week.
