Reports are the Lara could return to cricket this year with Surrey playing t20 games initially, its also reported that Lara is already Netting with Surrey and has held initial contract talks with Surrey. Id love to see Lara return and if he is half the player he was then he would improve the t20 in England.

[Outlaw]

Yeah I've heard he was netting at the Oval today.

Worrying that Surrey would relying on two 40 year olds to save their bacon. Two brilliant 40 year olds might I add.

Form is temporary, class is perminant

Age is a number to me

O the great man is on the verge of a return !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL BRIAN CHARLES LARA!!!!

I think this is very sad.  For both BCL and Surrey.

I totally agree - he is only doing it so he can get a massive payday in the IPL next year. I am insensed that Surrey are doing this. 

[Ashvir]

It'll be great for the fans. Even for the development of Cricket, as younger Surrey batsmen will look up to him, and try to emulate him

[Buzz]

no - his attutude is not at all what the young Surrey players need. It is hard enough for RHB to be captaining Ramps, Afzaal and Nel. It will be almost impossible with Symonds. AND BCL for all his former greatness as a player - is now a player in the other sence.
I think this is a shocking plan, whipped up by the administrators who just care about seing the Oval full rather than good cricket from a Surrey team
(just in case anyone isn't sure about my view on this!)

Lots of negatives to this but he is an amazing talent.... probably one of the most exciting players of the modern era and someone who's always given me my moneys worth when I've been to watch him play.

[Mr Cricket]

cant blame lara, afterall surrey already have plenty of walking sticks, zimmerframes, saline drips and false teeth laying around for ramps!

Greedy (No Swearing Please) would probably nudge and nurdle his way to 89* off 150 balls

Not possible Leo, only 120 balls can be faced

i dont think he should come back, just think if he comes back and has an incredibly poor return, people will start doubting him, and he might even start to get rememebered by this return and not his long and very successful spell in international cricket. i know it seems harsh, but its the way the press works these days
