SURREY VS WORCESTERSHIRE LV= COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION ONE 2024

Surrey have named an unchanged squad for the LV=Insurance County Championship game against Worcestershire starting on Friday at the kia oval.
The ECB have yet again told us not to rest anyone for this game  
I'd assume Tom Lawes and Jamie Overton are still on the treatment table  

Full Squad:
Burns (c)
Abbott
Atkinson
Clark
Foakes (wk)
Lawrence
Patel
Pope
Roach
Sibley
Smith
Steel
Worrall
Will Atkinson replace Steel for this game? or will we want to annoy the ECB even more
If not Patel will have to give lessons to Steel on carrying out drinks for the first time this season.
Over to you chaps  

Cheers, JimBob.

As I banged on about during the Warks game and all things being equal, I would bring Atkinson in for Steel. However, no idea if anyone has a niggle or needs a rest! They shouldn't really because if anyone does, he shouldn't be in the squad. Who knows though?!

I understood a couple of weeks ago that Lawes' heel injury wasn't too bad - thought he might be back in the squad by now. Overton's back injury is more serious and likely to keep him out for some time.

I'm now away until Monday. Leaving you guys to get us the win or close to it by then.

Worcestershire win toss and bowl
Patel and Steel miss out

Cheers jimbob, batting first, for the first time this season! That double headed coin didn't work for Burns today

Good start...15-4

Burns LBW was missing a fifth stump let alone hitting leg!

Good recovering from Pope and Lawrence so far - albeit work still to do

Well done Surrey and you guys! Another emphatic win. Guess everyone knew what they were doing although I didn't read it that way when I clocked 15/4 on Friday morning.
