A highly entertaining event at the Club falls Saturday 18th April, when Sunbury welcomes Middlesex County Cricke Club for a 20/20 season kick-off match against Sunbury 1st XI, starting at 12.30. Apart from Eoin Morgan, England's T20 & ODI captain who is playing in the IPL, Middlesex will field a full county squad and will be formidable opponents with the likes of Steven Finn, England quickie with 90 wickets in 23 Tests and 86 wickets in ODI's, Nick Compton and Sam Robson who have both played Test Cricket for England in recent years, James Franklin, New Zealand all rounder, Neil Dexter, David Malan, Tim Murtagh and former Sunbury player Andrew Balbirnie who made significant contributions for Ireland at the recent ODI World Cup
Sunbury will be strengthened by Middlesex quickie Toby Roland-Jones, and Paul Stirling, Ireland's impressive opening bat and off spinner who has scored 2469 runs and taken 41 wickets in an international career of 83 ODI and T20 internationals. Both being ex-Sunbury players, they should add a bit of bite to the proceedings. Sunbury will also benefit from the introduction of their Aussie overseas player for 2015 Chris Green, an aggressive bat and off spinner. In the Australian season just ended Chris broke into the NSW state side, while also playing in the Aussie Big Bash for Sydney Thunder - so he knows all about the T20 format.
Sunbury will of course be relying on their experienced ex pro's Maunders (Middlesex, Leicester and Essex) and Adam London (Middlesex) along with other established and up and coming talent. It’s free to all, so come and enjoy a great afternoon’s cricket. Also at the Club that day Sunbury Sports Bowls Club have an Open Day for anyone interested to come along and try their hand on the green sending down a few woods. It’s great fun, so come and have a fun sporting day at the Club.
