Friends Provident t20 preview: Lancashire Lightning

T20 pedigree Have made it past the group stages five years out of six. Runners-up in 2005 but have not got past the quarter-finals in the past two seasons.

However, he has yet to flourish in T20, having failed to make a hundred so far and with an international average of just 20. Simon Katich (Australia) Another player with a less than orthodox technique. Quality, experienced batsman who still has a lot to offer. Watch out for Glen Chapple At 36, Lancashire's captain is proof that T20 need not be a young man's game. Prospects Usually qualify for the knockout rounds and will expect to do so again.
