A wide-ranging yet deeply personal examination of depression in cricket by former first-class cricketer turned author Andrew Murtagh.
Cricket''s Black Dog draws on exclusive interviews with well-known figures such as David Frith, Jeremy Snape, Graeme Fowler, Barry Richards, David Nash, Huw Turbervill and Ian Thomas, as well as the author''s personal experiences.
English cricketers are almost twice as likely to commit suicide as the country''s average male - to date, 151 former first-class cricketers have taken their own lives. But why?
This groundbreaking book poses many important questions, including:
- Is cricket to blame or are cricketers - by their nature introspective and self-critical people - more susceptible to depression and thoughts of suicide?
- Why should cricketers, who spend their days in healthy, outdoor pursuit, be more vulnerable than others?
- Does the game provide adequate support for sufferers or is mere lip service being paid to tackling the problem?
- What conclusions - if any - can be drawn from careful research and empirical examination?
As a former county cricketer who has battled depression for most of his life, the author is perfectly placed to explore this urgent and perplexing problem that is blighting England''s gentle summer game. Just how do we tackle this silent killer?
