Surrey vs Durham - Clydesdale Bank 40 - Match Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782, at the Kennington Oval, London, on Sunday, May 20, 2012.
Defending a respectable yet gettable 40-over total of 221, Jade Dernbach, Stuart Meaker, Matthew Spriegel and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gareth-Batty-c1456, all shared two wickets each to bundle Durham out for just 161 in the 36th over of their chase.
After Surrey skipper Rory Hamilton Brown opted to bat first, Mitchell Claydon scythed through their top order, claiming the wickets of their top three batsmen in three successive overs, to leave the hosts reeling at 47 for 3.
Openers, Hamilton Brown and wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611, struck 15 runs. The Surrey skipper was bowled out by Claydon while the rest of the two were caught behind.
Tom Maynard led the rebuilding for the hosts sharing a half century stand with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zander-de-Bruyn-c98565 for the fourth wicket. However, de Bruyn and Matthew Spriegel departed in quick succession in the 21st and 22nd overs
to allow Zafar Ansari to join Maynard at the crease. The duo struck some sweetly timed boundaries all across the turf to put Surrey on course to a respectable total.
The partnership was worth 85 when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449 removed Maynard in the 37th over to leave the side 191 for 6 on the board. Maynard played a hefty knock of 77 runs from 94 balls, laced with seven muscular boundaries. On the other
hand, Ansari was unbeaten on 60 as Surrey amassed a total of 221 for 7 from their allotted 40 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Claydon-c1973 led the Durham attack with figures of 3 for 58, while Onions, Breese and Borthwick all shared one wicket each.
In reply, Durham's top order provided the side with a steady start, and by the 27th over, the team was with 120 for 3 on the board. However, the middle and lower order lost its head in the middle overs as the whole team was rolled over for
only 161 in 35.4 overs.

The 60-run win over Durham was Surrey’s third victory of this season’s CB40 campaign and keeps them at the top of Group B points table.
