Profile
The first Queenslander to captain his native side to a Sheffield Shield triumph, Stuart Law has enjoyed significant success with his State, plus Essex and now Lancashire. He has now gained British citizenship and plans to end his playing career at Old Trafford - although he has no intention of trying to add to his single Test cap. Law was a prolific batsman in Australian domestic cricket, but was around in an era when there was no shortage of quality batsman. Therefore, he was restricted to that solitary Test cap, against Sri Lanka at Perth in 1995-96, and scored an unbeaten half-century - leaving him without a Test average. His ODI career spanned 54 matches, but he was dropped before the Australians triumphant 1999 campaign in England. He continued to churn out endless streams of runs for Queensland, Essex and Lancashire, passing 1000 runs every English season from 1999-2003, and only injury prevented him continuing the streak in 2004. His stint at Essex ended in acrimonious fashion in 2001, and he signed for Lancashire, where he has continued to score consistently big runs - but has yet to win any trophies at Old Trafford. Showing that his enthusiasm isn't dimming he took on the Lancashire captaincy for 2008 although his participation in the Indian Cricket League means it could be his final county season.
