so on to the second final of the week
Chris Adams has named a fourteen man squad for the Clydesdale Bank 40 Final against Somerset at Lord’s on Saturday 17th September.
Jade Dernbach returns from International duty and is added to the same squad that defeated the Sussex Sharks in the semi-final. Dernbach is the Surrey Lions’ leading wicket taker in the CB40 this year, with 19 dismissals already to his name at an impressive average of 15.47.

The full Surrey squad to face Somerset in the CB40 Final at Lord’s on Saturday 17th September is:
Rory Hamilton-Brown (Captain)
Steven Davies (Wicket Keeper)
Jason Roy
Tom Maynard
Zander de Bruyn
Matthew Spriegel
Zafar Ansari
Chris Schofield
Gareth Batty
Yasir Arafat
Jade Dernbach
Tim Linley
Stuart Meaker
gary wilson
so drink carrier to do what he does best and two more from zaffer,the viscount and meaker to miss out.
hard call for me on the two to miss out maybe the viscount and meaker?

Come on Surrey.My first team Lanky have done me proud.Now its your turn.

JimBob - thanks for setting up another thread. As Carrot said last night, it's really been good to chat and joke about Surrey, cricket in general and all sorts of other things on these threads throughout the season. Good as well to have so many of the old gang on here plus some newbies and distinguished guests like ChrisfromStroud. A few ''care in the community'' types do seem to be finding their way to 606 v2 but I suppose that's sadly inevitable as things take off.

I agree with you about the three most likely to miss out. I think there's a clue as to how the fourteen have been listed by Adams (same order as your thread).

One person who would be exceptionally unlucky to miss out is Matt Spriegel. According to Johnny Barran (Churchy's fellow broadcaster who certainly seems to know his stuff), Spriegel has never missed a CB40 game since making his debut in 2008 - that stat really surprised me!

Also good for us that Somerset had a full day's cricket today and ended up losing!

its gonna be a very good game, but im thinking that somerset will probably win the game, its going to be very enjoyable to watch, but even if tres isnt fit then, somerset have a very good batting line up, and also alfonso, and kartik with the ball, they are very strong.

Morning all starting to get the old butterflies in the stomach.

Pie Thrower Dernbach should miss out.

An economy rate of 6.2 in List A cricket

I'd take an economy of 6.2 if I played most of my list A matches at the Oval!

More importantly though, Dernbach is a wicket-taker, and nothing slows down scoring like taking wickets.

Weather is looking a bit dodgy 30+ miles south of London - torrential shower a few minutes ago...

Come on Surrey

Come on Surrey oh and the mighty Hammers

Millwall vs West Ham

A very good morning to Corporal, JimBob, Tibor, Carrot (probably feeding monkeys now but he'll no doubt be reading later), Goochie, JimBoHammers amd the rest of the usual gang.

Weather is fine here (Guildford way) at the moment, Corporal, but I guess it could be changeable. A bit like Tuesday in fact when I went to the Oval - so quite possibly a couple of showers but I don't think it'll be too bad for anyone.

A lot of us believe the Surrey website overeggs the pudding. I can tell you we're not alone. I looked on the Somerset one yesterday. Now keep in mind they had just been hammered by 8 wickets as Lancs raced to victory and the County Championship by scoring well over 200 in about 23 overs. Anyway, the lead article was headed: ''Trego Century makes Lancs Work For Title''!

Hi guys at the ground. viscount,meaker and drink carrier miss out.Somerset won the toss and will bat

Have a great day, JimBob.

I couldn't make it today but watching this morning on Sky. Nick Knight has expressed surprise we left out both the Viscount and Meaker - I think that just shows we know our team a lot better!

Let's hope our 5 spinner attack is on form today..... !

It's a tie!

That's the result of the six Sky pundits anyway.

Ian Ward, Nick Knight and Robert Key go for Surrey.

Paul Allott, Mike Atherton and ''Turncoat'' Willis go for Somerset ....

hello guys

Afternoon lads, don't mind if I join in with the banter do you?

Looks a lovely batting pitch!

ive only got tms on being at uni again

Hi Hodge & Liam.

Guildford - I wonder whether Key is hoping for a Surrey contract?!

Some turn for Spriegel and Trescothick's gone!

Greetings to Hodge and Liam from me as well.

Corporal - Your comment about Key is interesting. Adams and Key are often praising the other on tv. I just wonder. There again, I can't see Key coping with our fitness regime.

Meanwhile, a much needed wicket (already) of Tresco by Spriegel. I was about to post that Spriegel should bowl a deliberate wide to try for a stumping. Didn't need to even give a run away for a wide ....

Good catch by Davies! Good bowling by Arafat!

Arafat you beauty

not again

Two misfields in consecutive balls by Schoey off Dernbach cost 3 runs!

An earlier misfield by him cost a single!

Hmmm ....

The Gaffer catches Trego off Dernbach! Good catch running in.

56 - 3 0ff 11.1.

Somerset have a decent run rate but we have the wickets and the box seats (currently!) ....

Schofield you little beauty

Batty you little beauty

Blimey Somerset are choking up in this final.

After these two, there is not much batting, so it might be worth Dernbach coming back for a few overs in an attempt to get a wicket.

...or Ansari can just get the wicket

jbd349 wrote:...or Ansari can just get the wicket

Well done Gaffer!

Important wicket as a useful partnership was being developed for Somerset!

One wicket to each of our six bowlers - so far ....

8 overs left. 161 - 7.

If all goes well, 4 overs on the bounce now from Arafat with 1 from Nora and 3 from Dernbach at the other end. Sprigs, Schoey and Gaffer have bowled 16 overs between them and effectively made up two bowlers.

Hyphen has judged it well - so far ....

173 -7. 6 overs left... well bowled Batty

Yes, good return from Nora!

Only 4 runs off Arafat's over

Dernbach

13 off the first powerplay over

''I 'ate you Buttler!''

Dernbach again

[quote="guildfordbat"]''I 'ate you Buttler!''[/quote]



If only Richard Blakey was still playing.

Kirby hoping he gets to bowl at Dernbach ...

Buttler 10 off 2 balls..... 10 off 3 balls; 11 off 4 balls...wide

For someone often regarded as a headcase on the pitch, Steve Kirby is providing sensible, calm and vital support to Buttler ....
