Yorkshire give Gough a breather
By Richard Bright
YORKSHIRE have decided to leave Darren Gough out of their
championship game against Surrey starting tomorrow because the
England bowler is suffering from sore shins.
Gough`s efforts in helping England win the first Test against
Australia have left him short of fitness.
The decision was made after discussions between Gough, Wayne
Morton, the England and Yorkshire physio, and chief executive
Chris Hassall. The county added that there had been no approach
from the England team management asking for Gough to be rested.
Sussex are lodging an official complaint with the English
Cricket Board following their farcical Sunday league defeat at
Durham.
The county faced a revised target of 80 in four overs under
the complex Duckworth-Lewis system after torrential rain caused a
100-minute delay to the match at Chester-le-Street.
Lee Crozier become the first Northumberland player for 20
years to take a hat-trick, his success coming during the drawn
Minor Counties` championship game with Norfolk.
