A little bit nervous we have to start our championship defence with this tough game, but can't wait.

 

[The Large One]

Oh my giddy Aunt. I was sort of dreading this day. This is where it all... begins. COME ON, SUSSEX

 

[JJ McClure]

As it's a sunny morning I was tempted to drive straight past work and keep going to the oval.

 

[lost in london]

I'm going there tomorrow, its only £5 to get in, best excuse for beers in the sun that I can think of.

Toss: Surrey won the toss and decided to bat

 

[harry_h]

Must be a good batting pitch because Surrey won the toss so if we get them out for less than 300, it will be a good innings.

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Always flat at the Oval - however, must be a bit of greenery on there, bit of atmosphere around so the ball doing a bit.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ramprakash is the danger man. Get him out before lunch and we're in business.
