SUSSEX V SURREY at Hove
(Royal London One-Day Cup), 7 MAY 2017
When Surrey last travelled to
Hove for a List A game, in 2010, Kevin Pietersen hit 116 and Zafar
Ansari claimed a wicket on one-day debut all in a contest that ended
with scores level.
So, then... Third in the South Group plays
host to fourth. Both both have lost to Somerset, the group leaders,
and both have turned over Glamorgan. However, Sussex have the
advantage of having only lost the once, so far, despite the fact
that they were facing a mountain to climb when rain came to their
rescue at Lord's, where Middlesex were allowed to rack up 341-5.
The bowling is a massive
concern for the Sharks. With Chris Jordan on IPL duty, Steve
Magoffin not considered a one-day option and the West Indies' Jerome
Taylor still acclimatising, it has fallen to David Wiese and Jofra
Archer to lead the attack. While Wiese has impressed, 22-year-old Archer has taken 5 wickets at 44.20 runs apiece and
conceded practically six an over. For economy, if nothing else, Stiaan van Zyl's steady seam up has at least offered skipper Luke
Wright some control.
Laurie Evans's swashbuckling
innings at Canterbury has been the stand-out performance by a Sussex
batsman, thus far, in the Royal London. The rest of the Martlets'
top order has looked dependable. Harry Finch is averaging 49.00 and
all-rounders van Zyl and Wiese 38.00, but get beyond keeper Michael
Burgess - who will be deputising for the injured Ben
Brown (finger) - and you're into something of an unwagging tail.

Seven out of Surrey's last eight Royal London matches have been won
by the side batting second - the exception being last summer when they turned
over Yorkshire in the semis. On paper, Sussex appear to be the only
remaining test for Surrey in this year's South Group, since
Gloucestershire, Hampshire and Kent have registered just two victories
between them. The key to this match will be taking full
advantage of Hove's short boundary. Expect runs and, if yesterday's
London derby was any yardstick, expect a Surrey win.
