That seam attack is sensational but just look at that tail with Tredders at 10 (he's opened in the CC before) and Coles at number 11.
Now I've said that we will probably be 80 all out!
Looks to me like Stevens is one place to high. So actually means whilst you bat deep the tail starts higher.
That's OK because when Billings comes in at 5 it will still mean Stevens batting at 8 with "only" 38 career hundreds to his name - and our number 11 will still have an average of 20. Beats Dernbach and Footitt and their single figure averages.
I'm not going to say that we are going to win this match because we all know what will happen if I do. BUT, given that there are less CC matches this season, three wins from three would go a long way to knocking a number of contenders out of contention - well Durham anyway!

Haha was talking about the Kent lineup but sure let's talk Surrey on here. I know own you all love it when I do.
Our bowlers are there to bowl. I don't want my 10 and 11 to get runs I want them to get wickets.
I think the Currans and Batty at 789. Is more than good enough as a tail. Especially with the quality in our top order.

We saw that against Lancs - 470 from 122-6. Oh and Warwickshire 61-0 by the way.

This is the same Lancs side that are currently 39-5!
That's how I used to play - either fours or sixes (or clean bowled). Nothing to do with the art of rotation, more that I didn't like (couldn't run) quick singles. I think the technical term is lazy b*****d.

Thought they'd left the declaration a bit late but sounds like a very good performance.
Bell-Drummond, Dickson, Denly, Northeast, Gidman, Stevens, Rouse, Parnell, Harris, Tredwell, Coles.

We even have a bit of batting depth, with no Weatherley or Blake playing
Thanks for that

Lancs 46-6 v Somerset
Warwick 88-0 v Surrey (with their great bowling attack)
Dickson goes for 41 and Denly is out for a golden.
