The BRING BACK LUMBER campaign has received overwhelming support so far with the clearest indication of unrest being the lack of 'available' or willing players on a Thursday for games in the absence of the inspirational leader.
A solid twitter campaign is underway with #BBL being tweeted well over 2,000,000 times this calendar year.
Ever the professional Peter Lawrence, lovingly known to his peers as, Lumber, refused to comment on speculations re-linking him with his rightful position. He chose just to write #BBL on the Horsforth Facebook page. A sign surely that if the club came calling he would answer.
The current captain Hardaker who alienates himself with his terrible dress sense, poor man management skills, irritating references to past glories, failure to pay gambling debts and obsession with his 'special friends' Ryan Sharrocks & Johnny Bell was unavailable for comment but a source close to him has revealed he has been doing some 'soul searching' in the local area.
The Horsforth T20 sides fortunes hang in the balance this season amidst rumours of discontent, split dressing room and the legendary figure of Peter Lawrence looming in the shadows...

I've played under good captains and bad. This Bad Baker character seems a Boycott-esque character - would run his team mates out to keep up his average. Drop the ego and re-instate 'Lumber'. Love the spectacles.
Although its public knowledge that Lumber and I have broken off our romantic involvements I have the utmost respect for the firm grip he shows on and off the cricket field. I wouldnt look twice at pin d Olly for anything....#BBL (just not as my bf)
I have played under Graeme Smith, legendary South African & Surrey captain and I wouldnt look twice at this Hardaker character. Sounds like a crank
he's a lumberjack and he's ok!!!!!!!!
Travesty! Referendum!
Bad baker is living up to the name lumber is the hcc mascot lol
Never played for Lumber, but was there as a senior player when he was developing into a natural leader. I briefly covered this in my Spirit of Cricket Speech at the Cowdrey Lecture. #BBL

Pete single handedly took HCC from the depths of Whixley League bottom division, 2 successive promotions and a top division winner. A Headingley T20 winner also. The stats don't lie. On a personal level despite testing my agility with a few 'errant' deliveries we have had a few dismissals over the years. Just don't mention his hatrick ball Under 17's v Rawdon...
