Ben Hollioake: All-round talent

The likes of Ian Salisbury, Mark Ramprakash, Martin Bicknell, Ed Giddins and Alistair Brown may have not prospered at the very highest level, but in the county game they have records that cannot be quibbled with.

Add in Saqlain Mushtaq, Alec Stewart and Graham Thorpe, three players with unquestionable international pedigree, and the young talent of Ian Ward, Ben Hollioake and Alex Tudor and it makes for an imposing line-up.

Mark Butcher may have been man-of-the-match in the semi final and earned a recall to the England side but he cannot be sure of making Surrey's final XI at Lord's - if Ramprakash and Thorpe had been fit Butcher may well have been left out against Notts.

His current form should earn the left-hander a place alongside Ian Ward, who himself cannot be sure to play, at the top of the order.

Ward may be seen by England as a Test player, but he has the ability to score freely in the shorter form of the game.

His innings against Notts in the semi final set the tempo for Surrey's huge total.

They head a formidable middle order.

Alistair Brown: Free scoring

Stewart, Thorpe and Brown have 37 domestic one-day centuries between them.

Each provides a different problem for the opposition and all can score at tremendous pace. Brown has not proved a success at international one-day level, but in the domestic game few can match his destructive capabilities.

Stewart plays in a more orthodox manner but is equally capable of dismantling an attack.

So is Thorpe - if fit. He is the closest England have to a Michael Bevan, a player who can guide the side home.

Get rid of the top order and there's still more to come.

Adam Hollioake is an experienced and combative one-day player. He has led England - with a degree of success - and is capable of producing telling contributions with bat and ball.

He has had a poor competition with the bat, averaging eight, instead he is the leading wick-taker.

Brother Ben is enjoying a good season after a forgettable year.

In the Benson & Hedges Cup he has averaged 61 with the bat and 14 with the ball.

Leaders: Adam Hollioake and Stewart

His batting is still his strength - his wonderful clean hitting can quickly swing a match.

The tail, in Bicknell, Saqlain and especially Tudor, are also capable with the bat to give the side impressive depth.

The attack is balanced and potent.

Bicknell has been the cornerstone of Surrey's bowling for the best part of a decade. He takes wickets and contains. His 47 overs in this year's competition have cost 158 runs.

Giddins is another consistent county performer, while Tudor can be expensive but does take wickets.

The Hollioakes provide seam support and then there is Saqlain.

His international duties have restricted his contribution to Surrey's B&H Cup campaign to five balls - in which he took a wicket.

He has had his disappointments at Lord's in the one-day game, but this time Ian Harvey will be the only Australian in sight.

Saqlain was part of the Pakistan side that lost to Australia in both the World Cup final and the final of the recent NatWest Series.

He has played more one-day internationals than any England player and is a prolific wicket-taker at that level.

Salisbury provides the other spin option and completes the variety of the attack.

He may have struggled at the highest level but in the county game he remains a threat.
