Gough may miss Ashes, concedes Hussain

BRISBANE NOV. 5. England captain Nasser Hussain conceded on Tuesday that his main strike bowler Darren Gough might miss the entire Ashes series against Australia.

"We've learned to live without Darren in the last year," Hussain told BBC Radio. "I'm not worried about Darren for the Ashes now, only that he gets back bowling for England."

Gough, who has undergone three knee operations in the past year, has already been ruled out of the first Test starting in Brisbane on Thursday.

The 32-year-old Yorkshireman, who has not played Test cricket since Australia's Ashes tour last year, reported swelling in his knee after bowling in the nets on Saturday and will now undergo further intensive treatment.

Gillespie cleared

Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie was cleared to play in the first Ashes Test. The lanky seamer was in doubt after being sent home from Australia's recent series with Pakistan after injuring a calf muscle.
