YORKSHIRE PHOENIX V
SURREY LIONS (TSL2), 13 JULY 2005 Surrey
might just might fancy playing the Yorkshire Phoenix right now. The Tykes have
lost four out of their last five one-day games, albeit they were in the
Twenty20 Cup. But at the forefront of the Lions' minds will be the thumping they
received off Yorkshire at the beginning of the totesport League campaign. On that
occasion Azhar Mahmood was injured and Nayan Doshi proved to be the only Surrey
bowler capable of exerting any pressure.
Phil Jacques (287 runs at an average of 47.83) is
currently at the head of the Phoenix's one-day batting averages, however Harvey,
Lumb and McGrath also have two half-centuries to their names, and Matthew Wood
opened his totesport League account with that well-constructed 111 off 127 balls
against the Surrey Lions. With the ball, Craig White (20 wickets at 10.40 runs
apiece) is head and shoulders above the rest of Yorkshire's attack in terms of
victims claimed, but both Hoggard and Kruis have proven difficult for the batsmen
to get away.
Historically, Craig White will be the man Surrey fear
most. In List A encounters he has made 315 runs at an average of 52.50 and
claimed 17
wickets at 21.29 runs apiece against the Oval outfit. That said Matthew Wood has
an impressive 331 runs at an average of 47.28, while Ian Harvey has taken 12 wickets
at 15.41 per scalp.
Surrey have won seven out of their last eight day/night games in the National League
to reach a conclusion - five of them batting second, which belies the myth that
chasing under lights puts you at a disadvantage. That said, their recent
limited-overs victories at Headingley have been hard fought, so winning the toss
- something they haven't done for a while against Yorkshire - would give the
visitors a welcome edge. If Surrey do, I would expect them to cause the Tykes an
upset in their own back yard.
Mark Ramprakash is expected to make a return to the fold, but Alistair Brown may
be kept out by the hand injury he picked up on the final day of Surrey's
fruitless championship visit to Bristol. Needless to say, Mark Butcher is making
slow progress in terms of overcoming his injured left wrist.
I Harvey, M Wood, P Jaques, M Lumb, A McGrath (capt), C White, I Dawood (wk), R
Dawson, T Bresnan, M Hoggard and G Kruis.
