Lancashire are expected to support proposals to increase the
amount of one-day cricket played next season with the introduction of
a 25 overs competition.
A number of counties, led by Essex, are unhappy at the loss of the
Benson & Hedges Cup from the early part of the season, and there are
proposals to bring it back in place of the Super Cup next year.
Meanwhile, the championship match against Middlesex at Lord's was set
to get underway at last today with dry conditions in London and a
decent forecast. However, the changes in the points scoring system
meant that the captains were unlikely to forfeit innings to set up a
run chase, leaving both teams to play for bonus points on the
remaining two days.
