It was very disapointing this week to see Stuart Law leave Lancashire. He's been a wonderful batsman since his arrival from County championship rivals Essex in 2002. In his 6 years at Old Trafford, Law has scored over 11,000 runs and consistantly scored centuries for the County in the County Championship. Since Law arrived as Lancashire's overseas player, he has taken the vice captaincy, and last season was named Captain following Mark Chilton's decision to stand down from the role.
Speaking with the official Lancashire Cricket website, Lancashire’s Chief Executive Jim Cumbes said; “Stuart has been a top class player and has served us superbly in the time he has been here, but the club is committed to giving younger members of the squad the opportunity to grow and the Cricket Committee felt the time was right for other players to take on added responsibilities." http://www.lccc.co.uk/index.php?p=news&id=2417
Taking over the captains responsibility will be bowler Glen Chapple. Chapple, currently Lancashires longest serving player, deserves the responsibility and hopefully his leadership can win Lancashire the County Championship for the 1st time since 1950.
