OLD Trafford old boys Jason Gallian and Steve Elworthy returned to the club with a point to prove on Wednesday.

Gallian has still to win a game against Lancashire in his five years as Nottinghamshire captain, while Elworthy's single season with the club in 1996 turned into a nightmare after he was surprisingly left out of the Benson and Hedges Cup final.

But newly-promoted Notts arrived at Old Trafford as the early-season championship pacesetters after winning their first game back in the First Division against Warwickshire at Trent Bridge on Monday.

Elworthy, now aged 38, has gone on to represent South Africa in three Tests and 39 one-day internationals since his bitter departure from Lancashire.

Lancashire, who took 12 points from their draw against Surrey, recalled Peter Martin in place of Kyle Hogg.
