Squad named for CB40 Final

Chris Adams has named a 14 man squad for the CB40 Final against Somerset on Saturday at Lords.

Jade Dernbach is the only addition to the squad from the semi final win against Sussex a couple of weeks ago. He will travel up from Cardiff Friday night, after playing in England’s final ODI against India at the Swalec Stadium.

Surrey have only lost one game in this competition, and will be looking to keep it that way. Obviously Surrey are a side full of confidence, with the right blend of youth and experience in the team, and packing the team with spinners, is the way they have gone for most of the tournament.

Marcus Trescothick is rated 50-50 to play and he will definitely make a massive difference in the opposition’s side, in the batting, as well as being the captain. Their side is also packed full of explosive batsman, like Peter Trego and Craig Kieswetter, and it will surely be an enthralling encounter.

The win would cap off a perfect week for Surrey, after already claiming promotion from the LVCC second division yesterday. However, they know that they come up against a Somerset side that are full of hurt after losing the last three cup finals they have been in, in the last two seasons. That might though, play into Surrey’s hands, because as well as knowing how to win cup finals, Somerset seem to know how to lose them.

The full Surrey squad to take on Somerset in the CB40 Final on Saturday is:

27. R Hamilton- Brown (c)

9. S. Davies (W)

58. Z. de Bruyn

55. T. Maynard

20. J. Roy

28. M. Spriegel

30. C. Schofield

13. G Batty

18. S. Meaker

12. T. Linley

29. Y. Arafat

22. Z. Ansari

16. J. Dernbach

14. G. Wilson
