Northamptonshire seamer Gareth Berg will make a delayed ECB Southern Premier Division debut for Lymington, his now home town club, against Alton at the Jubilee Ground, 11.30.
The former Hampshire bowler had been due to make his first appearance last month, but is set to play in what could be a season defining match tomorrow. If Lymington can land a third win of the season it will leave the Brewers in serious trouble (alongside promoted Hook & Newnham Basics) at the foot of the table.
It doesn't help Alton's cause that Ryan Hale, Toby Salmon and Tom South are all missing, while Liam McCurdy takes the gloves for the visitors.
Alton: Gonella, Janmohammed, Middleton, Harris, Myers, Heffernan MP, Wright, Heffernan MJ, Guibeleguiet, Walters, Ballinger
Lymington: Metcalfe, Royan, L McCurdy, Berg, Rogers, Cox, Du Plooy, Scott, Edwards, Proctor, Wade.
