Batty
Meaker
Dernbach

Is my XI for the final. I guess Sibley could play instead of Burns, but I'd seriously doubt that. Think that XI is pretty set in stone and would be shocked if we see anything different

Yes, subject to players slipping on a bar of soap in the shower, I think that will be the 11.

JimBob - for yet another season, you've been a rock of this board. Many thanks.

Very well done as well for getting ''cup final heartbreak'' into your thread!

Agree with you and all about the team.

It'll be interesting to see what eleven Warks decide upon. They don't normally play Ronnie in one dayers - can't understand why.

cheers rich

Team as expected.

Nice start from Surrey, 27-0 off 4.2. Davies in particular looking very good.

The decision to bat is looking rather foolish

Simply embarrassing

Surrey 136all out. Unbelievable - we lost all ten for 91. The pitch looks a shocker - biting off the seam for the fast men and turning foot for the spinners. But...

Kudos to Warks who, after the first +/- 8 overs, bowled and fielded superby. It will take something very very special from here but SoS Junior tells me he fancies a cheeky fiver on Surrey. Hmm ...

Not looking good - Warks 60+ for 1 with Tritt and Bell don't dobbing singles at will. But here comes Norah...

Nope - just a thoroughly bad day at the office. From about the sixth over, once the runs dried up for us, we were outbowled and then outbatted. But still a great effort to reach the final and secure CC1 status this season.

Why on earth did we bat first? The side batting first at the Lords final nearly always struggle for runs and lose. Shocking the way we keep losing wickets in clusters - the same happened on Thursday. Is it poor concentration? Second final in a row where we've just collapsed.

Highlight from today - well I didn't have long to wait for tube on the way home.

Just returned from a successful trip to the county ground

Sorry to see that some of you didn't enjoy the same success at Lord's today
A real shame

Thanks, Olly.  I've become somewhat fatalistic about Surrey in one day finals.

Not the send off that Steve Davies would have wanted. He actually batted the most fluently of all the Surrey batsmen (admittedly there wasn't much competition). But the moment a slow bowler (Javid) comes on he gets stunped off a wide to the very first ball.

Scratching around for positives - an early flurry of boundaries hit by Roy and Davies; Dernbach hit the only six of the match; Sam Curran did his best to cheer up the Surrey supporters in the Compton stand. That's about it.

Warks bowled very well after the first few overs.

Unfortunately with cricket things can snowball pretty quickly and that's what seems to have happened to Surrey today

A real shame the season ended on a sour note in the CC/RLODC as we've had good campaigns in both

At the end of that match I felt how trott feels most days

Overcast, green pitch, September - we'll have a bat
