    Wheater and Bates in the Hants team tonight. Bates behind the stumps. Ponting plays for Surrey.

    I do hope Jasper is joking. I thought I'd judged the mood.

    It's all well and good when our batting turns out like it did in our last game vs Middlesex, when Carbs and Vince did all the damage, Macca wasn't missed, and Bates wasn't required to bat. Wheater actually took a catch out in the deep.

    But lose a few early wickets, and suddenly no Macca and Dimi up at no.7 will make me nervous. And I'm already nervous enough! (Like I say, our recent record at the Oval is awful)

    I expect England to win comfortably even after this bad start

    Hmmm Surrey 27-0 off 2.1 overs. Not good.

    Edit: 31-0 off 2.2 overs. Oh dear.

    Edit: Roy clean bowled. Thank **** for that.

    Basically every Surrey game has started the same way. Bat first, decent powerplay, fall away to 130 - 150.

    They signed him about 48 hours ago, to replace Maxwell. Not sure I'd introduce someone new at this point.
