SURREY V YORKSHIRE at the Kia Oval (LVCC1), 24-27 SEPTEMBER 2013
The final game of the season
sees relegated Surrey entertain Yorkshire, who, for much of the
summer have challenged for the title after winning promotion twelve
months ago; which will serve as encouragement to Lancashire and
Northants, who will be taking their place in Division One next year
at Surrey's expense and, one suspects, Derbyshire also.
The Tykes have shrugged off the
absence of Bairstow, Bresnan and Root, to international calls.
Andrew Gale has made 1,025 championship runs at an average of 46.59,
while Gary Ballance (995 runs at 52.36) has come to the fore to such
an extent that he has snuck into the England squad for this winter's
Ashes. Phil Jaques has also scored runs at important times and
Yorkshire have benefited from Adil Rashid's ability to marshal the
tail.
With the ball, Ryan Sidebottom
(47 championship wickets at 19.70 runs apiece) and new recruit Jack
Brooks (34 at 22.76) have been reinvigorated while Steven
Patterson has continued to be one of the most under-rated fast
bowlers in county cricket. Had Yorkshire possessed a top flight
spinner perhaps they would still be pushing for the title, but
Rashid's leg spin has rarely looked threatening.
To follow.
Surrey have rung the changes for this match. Matthew Dunn and Tom
Jewell have been drafted in and, if they play, both will be making
their first championship appearances of the season. Meanwhile, with
the bat, Jason Roy could be on the verge of returning to first team
action while Dominic
Sibley looks set to continue at the top of the order.

With no hope of avoiding relegation, Surrey will probably err on the
side of serving up a pitch that rewards bat and ball alike, but that
may not be enough to hold back Yorkshire who will fancy their
chances of taking a youthful-looking Surrey line-up to the cleaners
to finish their 2013 campaign on a high.
