Surrey Sign Chris Lewis for the Twenty20's
Is this is an inspired choice or lunacy? The guy had it all but never really delivered, despite many chances. He's been playing a reasonable level and is obviously fit but is he going to be good enough?
The Surrey coach, Alan Butcher had this to say:
Do you agree that Twenty20 favours the older bowler or is it youth all the way?
Surrey have signed former England allrounder Chris Lewis on a pay-as-you-play contract for this season's Twenty20 Cup.
Lewis, 40, has been playing regular club cricket since quitting the first-class game in 2000 and has impressed people with his hard-hitting batting and quick bowling at the death in outings for the PCA Masters.

The Surrey coach, Alan Butcher had this to say:
"Initially I didn't take it too seriously, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought, 'maybe it's not quite so mad'. Twenty20 is a young batsman's game but I'm not so convinced it's a young bowler's game. Experience counts for a lot."
