SO, Steven Mullaney’s loss still prompts regret among the membership at Old Trafford (TCP, January 26).
For some unexplained reason, although born in the county, he was never given the chance by Lancashire.
Around the same time, Lancashire signed Faf Du Plessis as a Kolpak player and he played two seasons.
He was not exactly a great success but no doubt his time at Lancashire helped in his later successful Test career and captaincy of South Africa.
