Anthony McGrath has walked out on Yorkshire with immediate effect, though the reasons are still unclear.

Any views on this shocking decison? ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread. |

shocking is a strong word, after all, its not like its a decent player or anything. It may have something to do with the Chris Adams issue or Boycott maybe. He is difficult to get along with. ------------- [ |

This was last week wasn't it? Although he says it is not financially motivated, that will be somewhere at the heart of it, and he probably still carries a grievance over losing the captaincy a couple of years back. |

Yeah it was but I only just heard about it.
And 70DS I rate McGrath as a decent player, after all he's been at Yorkshire for years. ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread. |

| to be fair, the way things are going signing ANYONE would be a boost! All we've seen thus far is players heading out the door. Although if I had a choice between McGrath or Jim Allenby getting a run in the team I'd plump for the latter. |
