SURREY V MIDDLESEX at the
Kia Oval (Royal London One-Day Cup), 25 APRIL 2019
So, Surrey are off and running
in this year's Royal London at long last. However, their 65-run
victory over Essex at the Oval yesterday came at a cost - Jason Roy
wricking his back early in the piece, Rikki Clarke having to
withdraw with six of his overs still to be bowled (after dislocating
a finger) and Ollie Pope injuring a shoulder attempting to prevent a
boundary.
For Middlesex, the arrival of
New Zealand's Ross Taylor means new supremo Stuart Law has an
awkward decision to make - who makes way? If it came down purely to
form then Paul Stirling (45 runs in three Royal London innings)
would be the obvious candidate, but the North Londoners are already
lacking in terms of white-ball openers. With Stevie Eskinazi, Nick
Gubbins and Dawid Malan averaging 84.00, 77.50 and 42.00
respectively, it would be harsh, though logical, to give George
Scott a temporary breather. With the ball,
Tom Helm, Tim Murtagh and Nathan Sowter (7 wickets at 26.71 runs
apiece in the Royal London) have all impressed at various times and
Steven Finn now appears to be preferred to Toby Roland-Jones.
Tom Curran relishes
one-day clashes with Middlesex - he averages 12.33 runs per wicket
against the North Londoners. It's a pity, therefore, that a knee
injury discounts him. The highest individual List A score v
Middlesex among Surrey's current crop is the match-winning 86 Ben
Foakes made at Lord's last June.
Surrey v
Middlesex - List
A Records Sheet
Middlesex's Steven Finn
needs just one more wicket for his 200th in List A one-day
cricket.
Surrey are beset with injury problems, but, on the plus side,
Jordan Clark and Dean Elgar both look set to make their first
appearances of the season.

The last six List A London Derbies have been won by the team
batting last, but, going by the weather forecast, this contest could
come down to a Duckworth-Lewis calculation. Morkel and Plunkett will
be key to Surrey winning this one on the evidence of the last game.
Can they combine again? Of course they can - Surrey to extend their
successful one-day run against Middlesex.
