    He's been suffering from a form of depression for the last year or so. Hope he gets better soon.

    "Cricket...a very stressful sport...."


    Don't be ignorant, depression has nothing to do with playing cricket and is a disease that affects people from all walks of life, rich, poor and includes sportsmen and women.

    Lets hope he can get over this, i rate him highly, espesh at 1st slip! I think we have enough cover ie Ally cook to come in and cover his opening role, but a big loss to the slip fielders imo.

    Very big as Flintoff as captain like Vaughan also relied a lot on his tactical acumen in that position.

    A lot of cricketers suffer and have suffered from depression to the extent that they commit suicide. A book has been written on the subject called Silence Of The Heart by David Frith.

    Amongst the cases chronicled are Stuart Leary, ex CAFC and Kent, and Danny Kelleher, ex Kent.

    David Bairstow also committed suicide.

    More recently Graham Thorpe and Ashley Giles have been sufferers from depression.

    This book is a good read - also Bairstow ex Yorkshire Capt and WK

    Danny Kelleher was never the same after I bowled him out and then hit him for 3 fours on the spin whilst playing for Bexleyheath School :-)
