cricket and suicide

i have an interesting insight into this. are u aware that cricketers are very proned to be suicidal. Remember David Bairstow, ex england and yorkshire wicketkeeper commited suicide due to depression.

Famous cricket suicides include A.E. Stoddart, the most glamorous cricketer of the 1880s and captain of England from 1894, who shot himself in 1915 after his career ended; Albert Shrewsbury, the finest professional batsman of his day; and William Scotton.

Stoddart and Shrewsbury walked out to open the batting for England on July 17, 1893, passing another suicide-to-be, Australia%u2019s Billy Bruce, days after the funeral of Scotton, who had killed himself at his home near Lord%u2019s cricket ground in London.

cricketrs...better watch out after you hang up your boots. there is more to life than a cherry bat and a quick run in....
