Sutton and Surrey batsman Arun Harinath says batting for the MCC in their draw with county champions Sussex at Lord's last week was an amazing experience.
The 21-year-old, in only his fourth first-class match, hit 33 runs in his 164-ball stint at the crease - sharing a 57-run stand with England star Owais Shah.
Rain prevented the match from reaching a completion, but the former Tiffin School student, who helped Sutton to win the Surrey Championship in 2006, felt his 164-ball stint at the crease will stand him in good stead for the future.

"It was a brilliant experience to play with the likes of Ed Joyce, Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah. It was nice to be involved and to play well," he said.
"I had a couple of chats with Ed and Michael Carberry, who I know from Sutton, and it was good to pick their brains on batting in general.
"I came in during a tough period and had to see it out to build a platform to score a good total, which was nice to do."
