Friends Provident t20 preview: Surrey Lions

T20 pedigree The tournament's dominant team for the first three years and inaugural winners in 2003, but since 2006 they have failed to qualify for Finals Day. Captain Rory Hamilton-Brown Overseas players Younus Khan (Pakistan) Former Pakistan captain will feature only after clearance is given from his country but should be worth the wait. Andrew Symonds (Australia) Aussie legend in the twilight of his career is in every way a star signing. Watch out for Mark Ramprakash A classical musician at a disco, but Ramprakash excels nonetheless. Enjoy him while you still can. Prospects May find T20 a blessed relief after their County Championship woes, but getting out of the group will take some doing. How they're hoping to get the punters in… The Lions have their own cheerleading outfit in the Surreyettes who could be armed with T-shirt guns and other giveaways for the crowd.
