I'm down there for the 4 day's, it will be nice to watch a game of cricket in a proper cricket stadium and not a hotel and events venue.

I'd pick:
Jennings, Salt, Wells, Bohannon, Mitchell, Bell or Jones, Balderson, Hartley or Morley, Bailey, Williams, Blatherwick
Is Morley worth a shout over Hartley? I've not been impressed by Hartley this year, feel he's regressed but it could just be he's suffered as the whole squad has for form.

Hartley hasn't ever done much in 1st class. Like Gary Keedy, who took the great majority of his wickets in the first innings, he relies on being attacked but Keedy had greater control of line and length and deceived the batters by subtle variations in flight. Also like Keedy, Hartley doesn't turn the ball enough to take wickets against a team that only wants to defend. Last year he did well in T20 by maintaining very tight control and forcing the batters to hit the ball in the air but this year he seems to have lost control over his length and can hardly get through an over without including at least one ball that is too short. As the club has now ditched its best attacking spinner, I'd go with Morley.
Also, although they will set out to win this game, Surrey don't need any more wins as long as they don't lose so there's much more chance of them trying to shut up shop at some point - another reason to play Morley.

Jack Morley only his 5th 1st class game in 3 years! Played 3 last year with figures comparable to Parky.
This is only the 2nd CC game this season where we have picked a slow bowler/spinner rather than a batsman/spinner...

46/3, top 3 all out. Need a Vilas/Mitchell partnership.
