	Benson & Hedges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benson and Hedges was founded in 1873 by Richard Benson and William Hedges as Benson and Hedges Ltd. The company was formed to make cigarettes for the then Prince of Wales, Albert Edward.
		Benson and Hedges Ltd in the UK was acquired by Gallaher Limited in 1955 (now the Gallaher Group).
		Throughout the 1980s Benson and Hedges was the major sponsor of international cricket in Australia, holding the naming rights for most of the one day international tournaments such as the World Series Cup and the World Championship of Cricket.

		In the summer of his years he was a losing captain against Hampshire in the 1988 Benson and Hedges final, and a winner when they beat Lancashire five years later.

		And, of course, two of Hampshire's three Lord's final triumphs were in the Benson and Hedges Cup.
		Interestingly, Hampshire played all their home BandH matches at either Northlands Road or The Rose Bowl, unlike the Gillette Cup where a smattering of matches were played at Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Basingstoke in the early years of that competition.

		After capturing the Autumn Cup, the Panthers looked set to sweep the board but a dip in form late in the season saw them pipped in the league and playoffs.
		The side won the Benson and Hedges Cup, lost in the finals of the Challenge Cup and playoffs and only a run of injuries prevented a genuine league title challenge.
		The highlight of Adey’s time as coach was the 2004 Challenge Cup victory, when an overtime goal by Kim Ahlroos defeated the Steelers on their own ice (made a nice change!).

		On paper Surrey should be every bit as effective in one-day cricket as they are over the longer format, but they are obviously doing something wrong as their poor start in the Benson and Hedges Cup makes tomorrow’s outcome irrelevant.
		At the beginning of the season you would have said that this encounter and the one on Bank Holiday Monday were the hardest two in the opening phase of the competition.
		Rikki Clarke and Philip Sampson have been added to the squad, however, which means no Bicknell or Giddins but at least one player making their Benson and Hedges Cup debut just before the competition is scrapped to make way for next season’s ‘crash-bang-wallop’.

		At their meeting which followed the World Cup, the International Cricket Conference agreed to make the competition a four-yearly event with the 1983 tournament again being staged in England.
