After another season at Lancashire,he was loaned to Nottinghamshire for a month in the 2005 season and played in two County Championship matches for the county. He returned to Lancashire in 2006,and with several of Lancashire's fast bowlers either selected for England or injured,he received the opportunity to play in seven County Championship matches.

[2] Newby's good form continued into the 2007 season,during which he played nine first-class matches,taking 22 wickets at 30.45. [2] He was rewarded with a new two-year contract keeping him with Lancashire until the end of the 2009 season. [3]
At the start of the 2010 season,Newby was looking to secure a regular place in Lancashire's first team. However,in May he suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament,side-lining him for the rest of the season. [4]

Sydney Francis Barnes was an English professional cricketer who is regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He was right-handed and bowled at a pace that varied from medium to fast-medium with the ability to make the ball both swing and break from off or leg. In Test cricket, Barnes played for England in 27 matches from 1901 to 1914, taking 189 wickets at 16.43, one of the lowest Test bowling averages ever achieved. In 1911–12, he helped England to win the Ashes when he took 34 wickets in the series against Australia. In 1913–14, his final Test series, he took a world record 49 wickets in a Test series, against South Africa.
Arthur Webb Mold was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket for Lancashire as a fast bowler between 1889 and 1901. A Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1892, he was selected for England in three Test matches in 1893. Mold was one of the most effective bowlers in England during the 1890s but his career was overshadowed by controversy over his bowling action.

He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler who moved the ball off the seam and became among the most effective bowlers in English county cricket during the 1970s. Presumably because his batting was impotent as shown by his highest first-class score in more than 200 matches being 26, Lee appears never to have been considered seriously for Test cricket. He toured South Africa twice with teams organised by Derrick Robins. He was born at Arthingworth, Northamptonshire.
