Ed Ellis is keeping the St Cross Symondians team for tomorrow’s potential ECB Southern Premier League title clincher at Bashley (Rydal) firmly under wraps.
St Cross need 18 points, essentially a win, to take the crown. Ellis’s dilemma is whether Hampshire duo Felix Organ and Joe Weatherley can play – the county side having a ‘red ball’ training session at the Ageas Bowl ahead of Monday’s County Championship match against Northants.
Bashley will be no easy nut to crack having won heir last four matches. They have decided to respect the Premier Division and, Dan Goodey apart, field a full strength side.
Bashley (Rydal): Tripcony, J Gordon, Parsons, Porter, Achakzai, Digby, Anstee, Lewis, Trodd, G Wilson, Huns.
The second placed Hampshire Academy can only wait and hope St Cross slip up. Four points adrift, they go to relegated Hook & Newnham Basics who, like St Cross Symondians, have not named their team.
Eddie Jack returns from England U19 duty to play at the KGV, but Joe Eckland will be wearing the three lions in an ODI v Sri Lanka. Andrew McEwan will wear the gloves.
Academy: Mumford, Cheater, Fontaine-Jackson, Wright, McEwan, Fairfax-Ross, Jack, Martin, Pritchard, Baker, Cordery.
South Wilts left-arm quick Josh Croom, with 44 poles, is nailed on for the Premier Division bowling award, but his prospects of winning the SPL Young Cricketer award as well are under serious threat from team-mate Jack Stearman.
The bespectacled left-hand opener has notched three hundreds in his 820-run SPL tally and has scored over 1,000 runs in competitive cricket this summer.
His birthday century at Havant last week won this website’s Cricketer of the Week award, which Stearman will receive during the final match with Burridge at Bemerton.
South Wilts: Morton. Stearman, Mynott, Draper, Hayward, Godsal, Falconer, Sen, Grant, Croom, Burton.
Havant entertain Totton & Eling without wedding-bound opener Pete Hopson, so 15-year old gloveman Will Feeney gets a call. Hampshire’s Fletcha Middleton returns for Totton.
Havant: Feeney, Ransley, Walker, F Gadd, Metzger, Hindley, Jones, Barnard, Jerry, F Gadd, M Hayward.
Totton & Eling: Chapungu, Morris, Taylor, Mugochi, Griffiths, Beer, J Bracey, L Taylor, Varney, Middleton, Stephens,
Bournemouth will be handing out ear muffs at Chapel Gate – their match with Lymington coinciding with the Bournemouth International Air show and the Red Arrows.
Bournemouth have Rob Pack and teenager Lewis Freak back.
Bournemouth: Willoughby, Webb, Davies, Woodruff, Robinson, Freak, Park, Pack, Smith, Brecon, Conway.
One familiar ace missing at Chapel Gate will be Lymington old timer Tony Wharton, who is recovering in hospital from a long awaited hip operation. Tony is in good spirits and boring the pants off the NHS staff with the cricketing tales.
Alton, effectively with a three point advantage over Sarisbury Athletic, could wrap up the Division 1 title at the Jubilee Ground – but with the championship on the line one of the last team they would like to play is arch local rivals Basingstoke & North Hants.
Brewers swap Huw Wheeler for rugby playing Toby Salmon, while Basingstoke have fitness concerns over 17-year old spin all-rounder Bubs Wood, who suffered chest muscle injuries playing for Berkshire U18s in midweek.
Alton: Gonella, Harris, Wheeler, Myers, Heffernan MP, Egleston, South, Heffernan MJ, Gadsby H, Walters, Z Gadsby.
Sarisbury Athletic must take maximum points from heir visit to Liphook & Ripsley.
Calmore Sports play their final competitive match before defending their Village Cup crown at Lord’s in two weeks time. They caught the breakfast time boat to Ventnor.
Calmore Sports: Brewster, Johns, Lavelle, Johnson, Bailey, Fisher, Manning, Metcalfe, Perry, Wright, Carty.
David Lloyd is a rare absentee from the Rowledge team to visit relegated Sparsholt – the visitors fielding a very young side.
Rowledge: Ben Wish, Jake Wish, Ricky Yates, Richard Forbes, Ollie baker, Olly Ryman, Will Ryman, Jonty Seeborn, Zac Leroux, Max Martin,Ryan Littlewood.
New Milton and Portsmouth cricketers will get a bird’s eye view of the red arrows at Fernhill, where visiting captain Ben Duggan hopes to be flying high with runs.
New Milton: Watts, Edwards, Humphrey, L Beck, Loader, R Beck, Bartlett, Loader, Adams, Morris, Wooster.
