A sad day. Doesn’t feel like club have fucked up to me, feels they’ve done the compassionate thing for a great servant

Pure guess work, but I don't have much faith this isn't the club having caused this somehow. doing the decent thing and letting him go is one thing but you'd think with the right support in place he shouldn't want to/need to leave.
As I say it's an assumption but the club have hardly handled themselves well if you look at the likes of mustard, onions and now this. Absolute legends of DCCC who deserved better treatment were bunny and the colonel

Diva and Benks also
His statement seems to suggest they’ve done the right thing mind

Aye very true, was thinking they're from a different era in terms of those who were to blame though, perhaps mustard was anarl. I lose track of time easily.
Not seen it. Good to hear. Although (and again without knowing the insides it's all just hearsay) I still think with better support whatever these personal reasons are things may not have got to this point.
I can't imagine rushy has enjoyed the last few years as much as he enjoyed playing with bunny, he's broken his back dragging this club behind him with little to no support

I wish him all the best and thank him for his magnificent contribution to Durham CCC.
I have said before that you only have to chat with the visiting supporters down the Riverside each home game to discover how popular and admired he is among them as well as us.
Good luck Rushy and hope everything works out for you.

Nice one, cheers for posting.
Does nowt to change my opinion however that whilst we'll probably never know it's entirely plausible that Durham didn't do enough to make him want to stay.
So what.
Someone said above he’s been through a divorce. I don’t know if it’s true. But if it’s messy and he needed to leave the area, they’ve done the decent thing
It’s guesswork of course

Good signing for them. Maybe one more crack in Div 1 for him before he hangs his boots up? Do wonder how he’ll get on considering he struggled with the new balls etc this season. Maybe having OHD as his partner may help out.
Very very worrying signs for Durham now though. Said a while back what if Rushy or Raine get injured. Now it’s what if Raine gets injured.
Literally if Carse is away with England/told when to play now. Same with Potts.
Left with Raine, Coughlin as seniors. Then Gibson, McAlindon as the 4 seamers week in week out? Maybe they should’ve thought about trying a bit harder to keep the likes of Salisbury, Campbell, Weighell etc?? Cause I’m not sure the likes of Gibson, McAlindon, Killeen etc will be enough to help us push for promotion? Or anyone got any updates on potential signings?

What does that even mean? Being offered a 1 year contract when you think you deserve 2 could be classed as a 'personal' non-cricketing reason.
Could be. But the tone of it suggests otherwise
“A heartfelt thank you” doesn’t sound like there has been a disagreement

He's got a son hasn't he? Why would he bugger off to play cricket at the other end of the country where he will see him less?
It all stinks after other recent departures.
Haven’t a clue. That statement reads as if he’s not pissed off with the club at all, quite the opposite

Not necessarily a disagreement, but the club could be too broke to give him what he needs to pay the bills.
I doubt he’d be so gushing. But guesswork as we say
