SURREY BROWN CAPS V
SUSSEX SHARKS at the Brit Oval (FPT), 19 MAY 2009
Sussex's win against Yorkshire today puts them in the FPT quarter-finals and
ends Surrey's hopes of scraping into the last eight. So, with little riding on
the result of this contest, it will be interesting to see what the team
selection will be tomorrow. For instance, with the Twenty20 Cup starting next
week, will Surrey recall James Benning?
Looking at the Sharks, it sounds easy, but if the Brown Caps can nip out
Joyce (311 FPT runs at an average of 62.20), Goodwin and Yardy before they get
going it is difficult to see who is going to make the runs for Sussex. With the
ball, the Sharks' attack have rarely been economical in this season's Friends
Provident, but they do take wickets at regular intervals. Tomorrow's result
could therefore hinge on how successful the Oval outfit is in seeing off the
likes of Yasir Arafat, James Kirtley (11 wickets at 30.54) and even Chris Nash,
who picked up 4-40 today.

v Sussex List A Records sheet at at the start of the 2009 season.
James Benning, with 2,465 List A runs, needs 35 more for 2,500. For the
visitors, Luke Wright goes into the match with 74 List A career wickets.
Surrey have retained the same 13-man squad that line-up ahead of the two most
recent FPT encounters.

You may be surprised by this, but, now that the pressure's off I fancy Surrey to
win this game. Sussex are punching above their weight, in my opinion, and the
game down at Hove could easily have gone the Brown Caps' way.
