Departures

All the best to him. Find it bizarre how he didn’t get a go ahead of the likes of Gibson this year when fit. A much better bowler with a much better record. We’re extremely light on experience now. Can’t afford Raine to drop off next year now as if Potts is away with England, Rushworth on the decline/head elsewhere, Coughlin limited matches. Not many other to go too
To be honest I do like the look of gibson, but i know what you mean about experience. What's the crack with rushworth?

I mean apart from him being injured towards the end of the season I think he was just speculating that 'if' something happened to him and 'if' something happened to Raine, then the club will be in deep do-do's. In that scenario I'd have thought they have to recruit externally for an experienced bowler. So why did they let Salisbury go? Maybe, he wanted a change of scenery. Who knows.
 
Claude Henderson (Director of Cricket at Leicester) described Salisbury as “a very frustrated cricketer”. If you look back at his early form in 2021 against Notts and Essex, following which he was sidelined, I think it is very apparent why he chose not to extend his stay at Durham.

A lot of those at Durham when Franklin was in charge.
 
I see that Nic Maddison has carried his sparkling form back to Victoria and has managed just a small handful of runs in his three matches so far. Oh dear.
