Ralph Dellor24-Aug-2001Chris Hassell, the Yorkshire Chief Executive, was not at Scarborough to seehis team clinch the CricInfo Championship. Confined to Headingleyheadquarters on administrative duties, he found time to comment on thecounty’s triumph.”Personally, I’m delighted for the team, because I do think it’s been a teameffort. We’ve used two dozen players in the first team this season and allof them have contributed. In addition, the coach and the captain havecontributed enormously, as have the coaches behind the scenes. They haveprepared the young players to come into the first team to counter thenumerous England calls and injuries that we’ve suffered.”He went on, “This has been a triumph for all Yorkshire cricket, from thegrass roots up to the first team which has actually won the title. TheAcademy side is going for the Premier League title, and the second team arefighting for that title as well, so there is success right through the club.All Yorkshire cricket will benefit, from marketing to cricket development.It’s just so good for cricket as a whole in Yorkshire.”Hassell has been in charge of Yorkshire for 11 years and, despite allhis tireless work behind the scenes, this is the first title he has beenable to celebrate and will be all the sweeter for that.
