St Cross Symondians are without skipper Ed Ellis for their intriguing ECB Southern Premier Division match against the Hampshire Academy at the Green Jackets Ground, 11.30.
Ellis (above) has been under the weather since last weekend’s birthday celebrations, but hopes to play in Sunday’s ECB Royal London club championship tie at Burridge.
Tom Foyle will be a more than capable deputy behind the stumps for stand-in skipper Simon Beetham.
The Academy are without long term injury pair Josh Croom (broken foot) and Huw Wheeler, who dislocated his shoulder in an accidental fielding collision a fortnight ago, but Canford’s Tom Prest, who hit a triple century for Hampshire seconds against Sussex in midweek does play.
St Cross Symondians: Organ, T Foyle, Came, Taylor, Trussler, H Foyle, Bransgrove, Matt Haworth, Beetham, Mike Haworth, Woolvine.
Alton and Bournemouth are both without key players – with Hampshire prospect Fletcha Middleton (broken finger) missing for the Brewers and batsman/wicketkeeper Adam Davies for the visitors.
Chris Park will take the gloves, with skiddy seamer Tom Stannard given his spurs after some impressive bowling displays for Jonny Coombs’s second string.
Alton: Harris, South, Hale, Myers, Gonella, Wright, Heffernan MP, Heffernan MJ, Walters, Salmon, Ballinger.
Bournemouth: N Park, Collins, Webb, Matthews, C Park, Woodruff, Pack, Hurley, Denham, Breckon, Stannard.
Defending champions Bashley (Rydal) are still without pace bowler Bradley Currie for the visit to Burridge – the left-armer is struggling with a grade 1 hamstring injury.
Rhodes Franklin makes his debut in the middle-order, while Christchurch raised Ben Fisher, who made a second team fifty against South Wilts II in round one, could open the batting.
Bashley (Rydal): Digby, Gordon, Porter, Friend, Jacques, Fisher, G. Wilson, Franklin, M Wilson, Stroud, Crisp.
South Wilts bring Steve Warner into their front line attack against Hook & Newnham Basics at Bemerton, conscious of the threat the promoted visitors bring after bloodying their nose in the 2019 t20 Cup final.
South Wilts: Morton, Stearman, Hussey, Hayward, Draper, Rowe, Godsal, Grant, Harries, Warner, Lewis.
Ben Thane is still sidelined with a knee injury, but Hook bring in teenage spinner Will Gardner.
Hook & Newnham Basics: J Buckingham, Lockwood, Robson, Thomson, M Buckingham, Love, Murrell, Watts, Divecha, Moore, Gardner.
