Thanks for running with this again, mate.
I agree about Moriarty missing out. They won't need two front line spinners in early cold April and Virdi is ahead of him in the pecking order.
I think one of the batters will be on the bench. Otherwise, we'll struggle for bowling depth. I reckon we'll go with the same top six who started in the Middlesex friendly. That means no spot for Jacks.
Then probably a shoot out between Dunn and Topley. I can't see them both playing in the same team alongside Virdi. Even though their main job would obviously be to bowl, the three of them at 9, 10, Jack would be a horrible tail and something Stewart wouldn't like. I wonder if Topley might be eased into the Championship side gently and so I'll suggest Dunn plays the opener.

Re: SURREY VS GLOUCESTERSHIRE LV= INSURANCE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Hi all, very excited for the first full season for two years!
Agree on Moriarty and Jacks to miss out, think the last spot comes down to Dunn or Atkinson. I'd be surprised if Topley didn't play having been picked for the squad.

Re: SURREY VS GLOUCESTERSHIRE LV= INSURANCE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Will MacPherson seems to think Topley plays and Jamie Smith does too. I wonder if there is an argument for early season playing Jacks as a sole spinner and solidifiying the batting with the four seamers and a part time spin option...maybe too funky.
What’s happened to Rikki? Injured?

I saw MacPherson's thoughts after I posted yesterday. He's often right. I'll stick with my call on the team but I'm even less confident now.
Jacks playing as the sole spinner and solidifying the batting did also cross my mind. However, I don't believe we have four good enough seamers (thinking about quality and fitness) to do that for this match.
From the Club website preview: ''Rikki Clarke, having been unable to train last Thursday, was deemed not match ready for the Middlesex warm up game and unfortunately hasn't been considered for this game either.'' Odd wording. Makes me wonder if there is a disciplinary issue.

James gets it right as Topley plays.
Dunn joins Jacks and Moriarty on the bench.

Re: SURREY VS GLOUCESTERSHIRE LV= INSURANCE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Lost the toss and batting...
Strong top 6 on paper - Burns, Stoneman, Amla, Pope, Foakes, Smith. You've got five players who've played or currently are test players, and one extremely promising youngster. Clark at 7, and Overton at 8 provide some useful biffing if needed too.
Do we reckon Topley and Virdi flipped to see who lost out and has to bat at 10?

Poor start, Burns and stoneman each gone for 4, good bowling but not 8/2 good. Pope lookining good out there.

Not much movement left, but good control by the bowlers. These two need to pick off the loose balls and not do anything silly.

Pope gone flashing at a full wide one. That's probably his biggest weakness, he often goes after those - to be fair he scores runs with the shot but I think it's a risk he takes too often.

Re: SURREY VS GLOUCESTERSHIRE LV= INSURANCE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
220/9 at the end of day one.
Hmmm. It might just prove to be an adequate score, particularly if Topley and Virdi can somehow conjure up another 20 runs. However, it's still disappointing; particularly, as Olly said yesterday, as we have a strong top 6 on paper and two useful biffers at 7 and 8.
A few starts yesterday but no one - not even Amla with his 56 - properly going on. I was out in the afternoon but watched most of the morning session - Pope's dismissal was ghastly, a very loose shot with neither his bat or feet under control. Only one partnership of 50+ as well. At least Overton came fairly good with his 40 - if he can also do his main job and take wickets, he'll be a valuable signing.
Gloucs have no real pace or tricks in their attack but they do benefit from largely bowling a good line and straight. I see Shaw ended the day with a fourfer. I saw him at the Oval playing for Yorks in 2018 when I thought he had some promise although little luck that day.
As a team, Gloucs seem greater than the sum of their parts. We're going to need to bowl and field well today to prevent suggestions that we are the opposite of that.

I liked the look of Shaw yesterday. Nothing fancy - his best ball is probably a 6/10 but he bowled that more often than not.

Re: SURREY VS GLOUCESTERSHIRE LV= INSURANCE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Guildford, no mention for Topley/Virdi aptly seeing out the days play after a rain delay, knowing light was fading...so Gloucs bowlers have to pull on the bowling boots, and the openers don't know when they'll be padding up this morning?
Still need to knock off the pre-season cobwebs down south clearly

Yep, some much better bowling by Topley in the middle session which brought him 3 wickets.
If we are to come back in this game, it'll have to be a low scoring one. Concerning therefore that we've already gifted Gloucs 14 runs by bowling 7 no balls with Atkinson sending down 4 of them. Gloucs didn't bowl a single no ball in our first dig.

Ditto Guildford, extras 28, would be 3rd top scorer in our inns! Jordan Clark listed on BBC as RHB/WK....he certainly bowls like a wicket keeper

Bad light. Think that's it for the day. Gloucs 311/8.
Led by Topley we came back pretty well in the last two sessions but the hosts are now 91 ahead. That keeps them well on top. Fear that today's first session has cost us dearly.

Spot on, JimBob.
Gloucs have 6 bonus points to our 4. Seems a fair reflection of the game so far. We've got to do much better from here and effectively win the second innings by 107 or more. Not impossible but we're second favourites for sure.

Think you're being a tad pessimistic there, JimBob. A lead of 200 should put us in with a shout. Mind you, we'll still have to bowl well and - as said above - hope the weather behaves.

Concerning if you are downbeat, Olly.
Another 100 runs - ideally 120 - and I reckon we could pull this off. Not easy, I grant you, but possible imo.

I should’ve added more context Guildford - I would be concerned about the control of our bowling attack defending a low total. As we saw first dig, potential to be very inconsistent

222 ahead at lunch, if we can get another 30 runs and take 10/12 more overs out of the match, it should make for an 'interesting' finish

Ah ok, follow that. We did at least bowl better in the middle and later stages of Gloucs' first dig; Topley really but the other seamers at least had more control than in the first session. I take some encouragement and hope from that.
Anyway, the first bit of my roadmap (god, I hate that word) for today has been accomplished as we've added 100+ to the overnight score. Maybe try and bat another 10 or 15 minutes after lunch in an attempt to add another 15 or 20 and, yes, keep their openers wondering. I was out all morning and couldn't watch but clearly a very valuable innings from Foakes with, I guess, some decent biffing from Clark.
The second bit - taking 10 wickets in less than two sessions without too many runs to play with - sure won't be easy but we've done well in the last day or so to now be in that position.
