Kent run into Strang poser
By Thomas Cochrane
KENT were yesterday considering playing Paul Strang in their
side against Yorkshire starting today, knowing he might have to
leave Headingley on Saturday before the match`s scheduled
close to catch a flight for Zimbabwe.
The leg-spinner is due at Gatwick for a mid-evening check-in,
up to four hours` drive from Leeds, but Kent officials were hoping to find a later departure time.
Leaders Kent, 18 points ahead of third-placed York- shire,
have only Nigel Llong`s off-spin as an alternative. Llong has
four championship wickets this year, Strang 58.
Yorkshire have continuing doubts over Darren Gough`s fitness.
Their main seam bowling could be carried by Chris Silverwood
and Paul Hutchison, both selected for England`s A tour yesterday.
