SURREY BROWN CAPS V
SUSSEX SHARKS at Whitgift School (FPT), 28 MAY 2008
There may not be a Friends Provident Trophy quarter-final place resting on
tomorrow's Whitgift Festival opener, however both teams will be looking to gain
the psychological edge ahead of the Twenty20 Cup. When the Brown Caps beat the
Sharks at Hove on May 8, the home side were missing Matt Prior, all-rounder Luke
Wright and their main threat with the ball, Mushtaq Ahmed. But all three are
currently available if Sussex have revenge in mind.
Without ‘Mushy’ the Sharks' batsmen have had it all to do. But no one
still playing has scored more runs against Surrey in one-day cricket than the
Martlets captain Chris Adams, who, along with Carl Hopkinson, Robin
Martin-Jenkins and Prior is currently averaging over fifty in this year’s
competition. Murray Goodwin and Michael Yardy also have a knack of doing well
against the Brown Caps, so a 300-plus total is a must if Mark Butcher’s men
have hopes of bowing out of the Trophy on a high.
Seeking to prevent this from happening will be Sussex's spin threat, which is
more than just Mushtaq Ahmed. Rory Hamilton-Brown, Tom Smith and Michael Yardy
have all bowled creditably in one-day cricket this summer. Unfortunately, the
same cannot be said for the Sharks' seamers.

v Sussex List A Records sheet at at the start of the 2008 season.
Jonathan Batty has 199 List A dismissals and is four runs away from his 2,500th
List A run. Alistair Brown has 19 one-day hundreds. Jade Dernbach has 49 wickets
in List A cricket. Mark Ramprakash has 14 one-day hundreds against his name.
The Brown Caps look set to field the same eleven that beat Essex on Sunday, but
teenage seamer Stuart Meaker has been named in the squad.

This one is impossible to call, so I won't. There's no way either side can reach
the quarter-finals, so there is no guarantee that both sides be at equal
strength. With overnight rain forecast, we may not even find out.
