LANCASHIRE welcome back Andy Flintoff for their Benson and Hedges Cup quarter-final at Grace Road tomorrow.

And, after his superb bowling performance at Lord's, Freddie is in peak shape for a quarter final where the Red Rose side are aiming to wipe out the memory of their 2001 nightmare on the same ground.

John Crawley's decision to bat first in difficult conditions led to their Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy semi defeat, caused a row between him and committee member Paul Allott who criticised him while broadcasting on Sky, and widened his rift with club chairman Jack Simmons.

But later it was revealed that Crawley had canvassed other players' opinions about whether to bat or field -- and there was a 50-50 dressing room split.

Lancashire, who made Lord's their second home during their domination of one-day cricket in the 1990s, have not been there for four years and are determined to do it this time.

Boosted by the return of their star all-rounder, who was singled out for praise by England coach Duncan Fletcher during the Lord's Test, Lancashire are also hoping to have Neil Fairbrother in action for the first time this season.

Fairbrother has been out with a blood clot following a knee operation, but warmed up last week with a century for the second team and was in the squad which travelled to Leicester today.

LANCASHIRE (FROM): Chilton, Byas, Swann, Chapple, Law, Fairbrother, Flintoff, Lloyd, Hegg, Schofield, Hogg, Martin, Wood.
