Amiss was elected unopposed in October and he now knows why no-one else wanted the job.

Until last year Amiss - who is largely credited with introducing safety helmets for batsmen - was chief executive of Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

With Shaun Pollock returning to the club for a second spell, Amiss is hoping the South African skipper will ignite a championship bid on the same lines that Brian Lara did in the 1994 treble year.

For Amiss, appointed chief executive just before the season, it was the most spectacular start to his new role at the club he supported as a boy and then powered as a batsman through a career which brought him 43,423 first-class runs.

The 100 100s club is a truly elite band in which Amiss, who struck 102 centuries among his 43,423 first-class runs (the 12th-highest career tally in history), is the only Warwickshire representative.

Amiss is a big fan of the exciting brand of 50-over cricket played by Eoin Morgan and his team.

It was particularly poignant for Dennis Amiss, the Harborne-born England star who introduced the helmet which went on to change the game in 1977.

DENNIS AMISS, one of the first batsmen to use a helmet, hopes lessons can be learnt from the injury to Phil Hughes.
