The John Player League featuring
Surrey v Hampshire
Surrey, in attendance at the top of the Table, meet last season's champions, Hampshire. Although Hampshire are without their West Indian Test players, they have tremendous batting strength with men like BARRY RICHARDS and RICHARD GILLIAT and all-rounders TREVOR JESTY and PETER SAINSBURY. Surrey with captain JOHN EDRICH , GRAHAM ROOPE and YOUNIS AHMED provide an equally formidable combination.
