WORCESTERSHIRE V SURREY at Worcester
(Royal London One-Day Cup Semi-Final), 17 JUNE 2017
Surrey, who finished third in
the South Group, meet Worcestershire, the winners of the North in a
mouth-watering Royal London One-Day Cup semi-final at New Road.
On paper, the visitors seem to
have little to fear in terms of Worcestershire's batting, following
the departure to Yorkshire of Tom Kohler-Cadmore - the Rapids' only
century-maker in this year's Royal London. That said Mooen
Ali returns, following England's exit from the ICC Champions Trophy;
but
so does Jason Roy, which will bring greater balance to Surrey's
batting order.
Kohler-Cadmore apart,
33-year-old opener and former skipper Daryl Mitchell (250 runs at an
average of 41.66) is the only Worcestershire player with more than a
solitary half-century in 50-over cricket this season. That said,
keeper-batsman Ben Cox (264 at 33.00) has been consistent with the
willow and, with so many tipping him for great things, Joe Clarke
has to be taken seriously.
A key to the Rapids' success in
this competition has been the part-time bowling of leg-spinner Brett
D'Oliveira and Mitchell, a purveyor of deceptive dibbly dobblers.
Between them they have taken 13 wickets in this summer's Royal
London, striking every 38 balls and conceding just five runs an
over. Joe Leach, while expensive, has given himself the role of partnership
breaker, but the key men, in terms of both their economy and
wicket-taking potential, are left-arm seamer Jack Shantry and
Australia's John Hastings.

Surrey haven't lost a one-day game at New Road since 1997, although
that counts for very little since they have only played there four
times in the last two decades; and not since 2010. More striking is
that, prior to that run, Surrey's first 13 List A visits to
Worcester produced just two victories - in 1979 (B&H Cup) and 1989
(Sunday League).
