Tour Match: Surrey v New South Wales
The Oval, 6, 7, 8 September 1995

====> Day 1, 6 Sep 95
Slater has Surrey on the run - Mihir Bose

First day of three: Surrey (57-1) trail New  South  Wales  (398-7
dec) by 341 runs

THOSE who stayed away from the game to  celebrate  150  years  of
Surrey  missed a chance to savour some excellent cricket, even if
it all came from New South Wales.

Michael Slater, given first use of the wicket, promised to  score
a double hundred before lunch but clearly got bored when he skied
Benjamin after 69 in only 61 balls with a six and six fours.

New South Wales, cantering along at  five  an  over,  might  have
scored  500  but  Mark Taylor called off the slaughter just after
5pm.

This gave us an hour to appreciate the skills of Anthony  Stuart.
He  is  clearly  more  than  brisk  medium-pace, as the programme
describes him, and in two years time could be a handful for  many
an English batsman.
