David Willey leaving yorkshire


Mixed feelings I would say. Canny when available but never saw much of him with England and IPL commitments. They may become less regular as he gets on a bit though so Northants may well see the best of him.
 
Such a wasted talent for me. But unfortunate too.

If we didn't fast track Archer he probably plays at the world cup.

The less said about his trying to smash the ball to mars everytime he played for England the better.
 
Certainly having a pop at the club on his Instagram account.
"The cricket and the current players seem to be secondary at the moment to repairing the clubs [sic] reputation. It certainly felt that way for me over the past 12 months. I play cricket because I love the game. I just want to play somewhere that cricket is the focus and where I feel valued on and off the field.”

May get out sooner saying that
 
Not sure what they (the players) expected. Of course the focus has to be on dealing with the fallout. Comments like that don't paint them in a good light.

It’s a weird one to me SP, I always think when I see yorkshire he is a major part of the white ball games

something has definitely gone on, behind the scenes here .

It most definitely has. Was always going to be the case though. Will take a long long time for any sort of stability at the club

Wonder if goughie is on comms over the weekend at the t20 or odis and is asked the question.

i would take willey for Durham any day of the week. Good signing for Northants
 
Willey parting shot at Yorkshire. More interested in their reputation than looking after current staff. Brave statement.

 
To return to Northamptonshire at the end of the season

@Silly Point

strange one


Northants will be chuffed, I imagine.

As we know all too well, it’s sad that he felt (or was told?) he had to leave them in the first place in order to pursue an international career.
