CRICKET: Glamorgan flops given another chance.

Byline: PHIL BENSON

GLAMORGAN coach John Derrick has given his players a chance to redeem themselves for the innings-and-143-run thumping by Somerset by naming the same squad for the Frizzell County Championship Division Two match against Yorkshire at Headingley, starting today.

``We have been caught on dampish wickets to start with,''Derrick said,by way of explanation for his side's failure to win any of their opening four games.

``To be fair to the opposition, they have made the most of the conditions,but once you get bowled out cheaply in the first innings, you a realways going to struggle.''

Yorkshire's joy at having Yuvraj Singh available is tempered by the absence of three international call-ups.

Indian all-rounder Yuvraj will make his debut after signing as a replacement for Matthew Elliott but Michael Vaughan,Matthew Hoggard and skipper Anthony McGrath are involved with the England squad.

World Cup star Yuvraj, signed for the remainder of the English season as Yorkshire's sole overseas player in place of the unavailable Matthew Elliott,hopes his stint at Headingley can help him prove he is an outstanding talent in the longer game as well as in limited-overs cricket.

The 21-year- old has more than 70 one-day international caps to his name but is still awaiting his first Test appearance.

``I have always felt I have to do well in the longer game,'' said Yuvraj, who wants to bat at number three for his new team against Glamorgan.

Paul Horton,meanwhile,is set to make a first class debut for Lancashire at Durham University today.

The 20-year-old right-hander, who was born in Sydney and was given a scholarship by Lancashire this summer, has been included in a 12-man squad for the three-day game as several senior players take a break.

Carl Hooper will also play as he looks to shake off the rustiness following his long post-World Cup lay-off.
