Law to stay at Lancashire

Lancashire have confirmed batsman Stuart Law as one of their overseas players for 2004.

The Australian was the County Championship's leading run-scorer in his second season at Old Trafford, with 1,820 at an average of 91.00.

"It's been a great couple of years for me here," said Law, who previously played three years with Essex.

"I'm really looking forward to next season and helping the club to win more accolades."

The highlight of Law's season was a new club record fifth wicket stand of 360, shared with Carl Hooper against Warwickshire earlier this month.

And the duo were key to Lancashire's runners-up spot in the Championship and the Division Two title in the one-day National League.

Law, whose wife is British, has gone on record as saying he hopes to qualify as a domestic player by residence, following the path set by Zimbabwean Andy Flower.

But the club confirmed their 2003 player of the year will be contracted next season as an overseas player.
