Thanks, JimBob.

Assuming no injuries (Wilson had a stiff neck on Friday and Foakes kept), I agree about Kapil and Dunn missing out.

I'm going tomorrow.

PS JimBob and all - interested in your thoughts on the voting categories shown on the ''Surrey Celebration'' thread. Cheers.

I also agree the likely team selection, with Kapil for Harold if the latter wakes up with a stiff neck tomorrow.

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:12 am

Burke out with a bad back

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:13 am

Burke is injured so the lesser spotted Kapil.comes in

Yes and it's awesome

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:23 am

Will be glad to finally see the Curran boys play - as their statistics have been fantastic. Ansari too I guess as it has been a few years since I last saw him. (Hoping to see that the hype over Ansari is justified)

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:30 am

That's all opening a waste of the batting power play

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:50 am

Grr, I do not get SP3, so will have to wait till next season to see the Currans

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:52 am

Sangakkara takes out the stumps with a dive. Stop the match it's already peaked!

Tiger you can stream it online if you wish too - cricfree usually shows it

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:55 am

Not often you see Sanga with his middle stump out....hehe

My business loses a shedload of money due to illegal downloads - so although a different area I refuse to watch illegally streamed sport on moral grounds.

Will see Kevin's boys when you come to Headingley next year - if it fits my diary.

Tough start for Surrey. Maybe not surprising batting first on a September morning. Am in the ground near the front of Laker Stand with my 19 year old son if anyone is around & wants to say hello: hooped blue & white sweatshirt and wearing a black cap with Brittany logo

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:12 am

Need to get myself to a game next season - maybe we need to organise a proper v2 meet up

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:30 am

68-1 off 15 overs - solid start from the rey

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:38 am

Surrey have five bowlers plus Kapil. I think they won't want to use Kapil at all unless one of the others takes some serious stick.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:10 am

50 for Sanga

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:20 am

143-2 off 30

Should be looking at 280+ here - deck looks like it'll turn

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:28 am

147 - 3 with only 17+ overs to go. Sanga still going strong but Burns has gone.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:49 am

Someone tell Harold to get a shift on

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:56 am

Brilliant century from Sanga - what a man

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:13 am

Someone give sanga an energy drink - blokes blowing out his backside

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:16 am

Acceleration in progress. Not going to be a huge total but they have managed 54 off last 5 overs. clap

238 - after 44 overs.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:29 am

262-3 off 47. Hopefully we can make 290+ which is a very good score

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:39 am

166 off 138 balls from Sangakkara. What a freaking innings that is - so jealous of those who were there to witness it

by Duty281 Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:44 am

Masterful innings from Sangakkara, but I think Nottinghamshire will be confident of chasing 301 on this pitch.

by SimonofSurrey Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:53 am

Sanga's innings was spectacular in its inevitability. He never bullied the bowling (except maybe Gurney on over 49) but never looked like being dismissed. A masterclass and a privilege to have been here to see it all.

If Notts make 301 to win they will be worthy finalists.

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:09 am

Sounds like a great innings by Sanga. clap

Competitive total, although Notts have a long batting line up and will no doubt be fairly optimistic that they can chase down the target. I had thought Surrey had left it rather late to start the accelaration. I guess the key was that Sanga and Harold had a lengthy partnership of 149 and stayed together during the acceleration. Otherwise we could easily have spluttered along to about 270.

by Duty281 Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:35 am

Brilliant bowling from Curran.

by kingdaveeagle Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:35 am

69-3 off 17 now. Could do with another wicket about now.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:41 am

Notts favs here

by SimonofSurrey Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:08 pm

Big problems now. Smith has stumbled his way to a gritty near ton while Aussie Christian seems to hit sixes when the mood takes him. 84 needed off 9 but for the first time in the Notts innings it feels like they might do it

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:10 pm

219 - 5 and a badly needed wicket. Christian caught by Ansari off Kapil. 82 runs needed off 51 balls. I would say Notts are just favourite

by SimonofSurrey Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:25 pm

46 to win off 5. Seems like every mishit is evading the fielders and every top edge falling safe. Grrrrr!

by kingdaveeagle Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:29 pm

Think we're going to throw this one away....

by kingdaveeagle Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:38 pm

Only need 27 off 3 now - another expensive over from Dernbach (10 with a six in it) Not good enough from him I'm afraid.

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:51 pm

14 needed off 6 balls with three wickets left. Good penultimate over from Dernbach. All to play for.

by Duty281 Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:59 pm

Great game of cricket.

Nottinghamshire's poor running between the wickets has cost them a place in the final. In those middle overs, Patel and Smith were far too happy to merely amble singles for a good deal of the time, rather than pressuring the fielders with quick running. Of course, this was predominantly because of Patel's lack of fitness.

Dernbach's death bowling has improved, which is good to see. And Curran, the younger one, is a ridiculous talent; the swing he was generating at the start of the innings was something that James Anderson would be pleased with.

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 2:00 pm

Yay! Not quite sure how we managed that. Notts looked to have it more or less under control from a fair way before the end.

Well done Surrey. The bar's open. Whisky

by SimonofSurrey Mon Sep 07, 2015 2:02 pm

A great great game with two contrasting but equally noteworthy centuries. Huge kudos to Notts for getting where they did from 16-3. The final will be hard pushed toatch today for drama

PS no-one else seems to have said it. Surrey won by 4 runs

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 2:05 pm

Trust Olly has noted that #ansariforengland was the most economical bowler on either side! clap

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 2:05 pm

What a game of cricket that was - a shame one side had to lose

BUT C'MON THE REY!!!!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 07, 2015 3:37 pm

The reverse paddle over the keeper from Sangakkara off Gurney today might just be the best thing I've ever seen

What a man - that innings is staying on the sky planner for a long time!

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Sep 07, 2015 3:56 pm

Haha - just watchin highlights of Sanga's innings on Surrey website. Those flicks/ramps over the keeper's head are brilliant! Laugh
