The Vaughan whinging over Rashid is incredibly embarrassing. I thought Yorkies always backed Yorkies. But it seems they don't. Should be a fascinating series
The whinging from Vaughan needs to stop. Speaking as a supporter of Yorkshire I am pleased for him individually that he has been selected but there is a bigger picture with this story. Firstly he hasn’t bowled competivly with the red ball since last September. Secondly he said he didn’t want to play in the 4day roses match days earlier saying he didn’t want to play 4 day cricket this year.
Thirdly he is signed to play white ball cricket only this year and having missed half of the 50 over tournament for Yorkshire and first 4 t20 games they thought they had him for the rest of the season and then find out differently after it is to late to get a replacement. Fourthly he is told it is a 1 off situation and if he is to play next year he will need to play 4 day cricket. He at present has a 1 day contract for next year to sign meaning all that might now need changing and therefore Yorkshire’s plans/ budgets for next year.
If you look beyond headlines you will find Yorkshire fans want the players with England and England to do well but are also getting pissed off with some of the treatment the county appear to get off the Ecb.
Have to say I am really looking forward to going to Headingley next Thursday to hopefully watch s Yorkshire win over Lancashire. Good luck England tomorrow.
