I thought I'd start a new thread for the new season as the old thread is not far off 1000 posts.

What do the people on here think about Moores as Lancs coach?I know he was a flop as England coach but his record at Sussex was good enough to think he can lead us to better days ahead.

Not too sure about Moores however he was probably the best available so will give him a chance. Hopefully we'll see a few more youngsters gettting a game this season, especially now Law and Cork have gone.

You signed a lad back end of last year, Adrian Shankar, after he graduated from Cambridge. He spent a couple of summers playing for the 1sts at my old club in London, and while he's clearly decent, he didn't blow anyone away there. Would be interesting to see if he gets any 1st XI action.

To be honest he can't do much worse than most of our batsmen did last season so I'd imagine he'll feature in a few games.

Hopefully Moores can inject that secret/special ingredient he did at Sussex...I'd say he's got a better talent pool available to him at Lancs than he ever had at Sussex so Im hopeful at the minute.

Karl Brown to play a lot more this season, Du Plessis to become the new Law after a cracking season back in SA, Oliver Newby to be my surprise pick to do well too...come on Lancs!!

I hope Yorkshire manage to get Headingley sorted for the start of the season. They are fast running out of time and due to stage a test this summer as well.

I think Andy Fogarty knows better than to lay a thin layer of turf on 7" of sand.

Maybe, but there is still a lot of work needs doing there at the moment.
