The John Player League featuring
Lancashire v Hampshire
The award of £ 200 for hitting the most sixes went last season to Hampshire star Gordon Greenidge. He cleared the boundary line 20 times, five coming in one single innings on the last day of last season. As a result Hampshire, by the narrowest of margins, went on to become League Champions.
