SURREY
V LEICESTERSHIRE at Guildford (Royal One-Day London Cup)
2 AUGUST 2022
Last season's semi-finalists play host to Leicestershire,
who finished fourth in Surrey's Royal London group last term and
were one of just three sides to triumph over the Oval outfit in
50-over cricket in 2021 (the other two being the eventual finalists
Durham and Glamorgan).
However, with Surrey being shorn of 13 players due to The Hundred
- the most from any one county - it's the Foxes who will start this
game as firm favourites.
In contrast, Leicestershire are missing
just 4 owing to you know what - namely Colin Ackermann, Rehan Ahmed,
Ben Mike and Callum Parkinson.
Last summer, it was Lewis Hill (322 Royal London runs at an
average of 46.00) and Rishi Patel (319 at 45.57) who led the way
with the bat for the Foxes, who limbered up for this clash by
beating Staffordshire with 8 balls to spare last Sunday, in a match
reduced to 29 overs per side.
With the ball, Leicestershire have brought South Africa's Beuran
Hendricks and Wiaan Mulder on board, to augment the experience of
Chris Wright and off-spinner Aaron Lilley.
Surrey v
Leicestershire - List
A Records Sheet
Surrey could hand List A
debuts to as many as five - Nathan Barnwell, Josh Blake, Tom Lawes,
Yousef Majid and Amar Virdi. Ryan Patel, who seems to enjoy playing
at Guildford, is 57 runs shy of 500 List A career runs. Meanwhile,
Leicestershire's Lewis Hill looks set to make his 50th List A
appearance.
Rory Burns, cleared to play in the Royal
London for Surrey (rather than for the Oval Invincibles in The
Hundred), is a notable absentee, which means the hosts look set to
field a side containing just 5 players with more than four List A
appearances under their belts. Conor McKerr and Cameron Steel, with
16 previous outings apiece, head the list in terms of experience.

It will be interesting to see the extent to
which the likes of Geddes, Lawes, McKerr, Patel, Reifer and Steel
can paper over the gaps created by The Hundred. But let's be frank,
if this Surrey side can be beaten by Buckinghamshire with six overs
to spare, one can't really envisage them overcoming an infinitely
more experienced Foxes line-up. Prediction - a win for
Leicestershire.
