One of Di Venuto's mantras are the three P's - partnerships, patience and pressure. First came the pressure - the pressure of succeeding Graham Ford, then the patience. The Surrey supporters kept faith, by and large, and now we're seeing the partnerships - like the new club record eighth wicket stand between Ben Foakes and Gareth Batty at Southampton, which placed Surrey on their current upward trajectory. If spin twins Batty and Zafar Ansari combine with the ball in the two remaining home games against Lancashire and Hampshire, as we know they can, who knows? Put it this way, we can certainly start thinking in terms of Surrey challenging for the County Championship next summer. Only Surrey have looked like ending Middlesex's unbeaten record in the Champo and what also augurs well for the future is the way they overcame a Warwickshire side that, but for the emergence of Chris Woakes as a serious Test cricketer and a side strain to Chris Wright, might have had a tilt at the crown.

Commenting on the selection of Livingstone, National Selector James Whitaker, said: “Liam has been a player that we have been impressed with for quite some time, having performed well in the county system with Lancashire and over the past couple of years with the England Lions. “He is a very talented and tough cricketer who has the ideal qualities and character to be successful in the Test arena. “During the recent Lions tour of Australia, he was a standout performer and showed a lot of maturity in his attitude and put in some strong performances. We are particularly impressed with the way he bats against spin and is equally adept against the seamers. Liam is also highly regarded at his county Lancashire and will captain the side in the Specsavers County Championship during the 2018 campaign.” Selectors have also recalled Durham seamer Mark Wood, who returns to the Test squad for the first time since last year.

  • 314 – January 2012
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER 314 – JANUARY 2012 MEETINGS Wednesday 11 January 2012 - Meeting The Society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Martin Bodenham. He is the only man to referee in the Football League and umpire in first-class cricket. Born in Brighton on 23 April 1950, MARTIN JOHN DALE BODENHAM took up refereeing in local parks football in his native town (now city) in 1966. He graduated to the top level in 1978. He was the fourth official at the 1994 European Cup Final, when A C Milan, inspired by a majestic Dejan Savicevic, swamped Barcelona 4 – 0 in one of the greatest performances in the Competition’s history. On the domestic scene, he refereed the League Cup Final between Leicester City and Middlesborough at Wembley in 1997. The teams were unable to finish affairs at the end of extra time (1 – 1) and so a replay was necessary at Hillsborough. This match also went to extra time but the maverick Steve Claridge eventually won the match for Leicester City with a goal in the 100th minute. He also refereed four international matches and two FA Cup Semi-Finals. He retired from refereeing in 1998, whereupon he became an umpire in the Sussex Cricket League. He was added to the ECB reserve list in 2006, and officiated the match between England A and Sri Lanka at Worcester in May of that year. He was appointed to the first-class umpires list in 2009. To date, he has stood in only one of Hampshire’s first-class matches, a drawn encounter at Headingley in September 2009.
