Product Information

Cricket has an alarming suicide rate. Among Test-match players for England and several other countries it is far above the national average for all sports and there have been numerous instances at other levels of the game.

These are among the questions addressed within this catalogue of biographies. Another key area is the theory that cricket itself is to blame for its losses. Or is that this summer game attracts people of a melancholic and over-sensitive nature? The author attempts to dispel this suggestion. Stoddart, Shrewsbury, Gimblett, Robertson-Glasgow, Bairstow, Trott, Iverson, Barnes. . . these are the high profile cricketers who killed themselves, and their remains a sense of disbelief that they

    • A SCARCE BOOK AND FULL OF INTEREST FOR SERIOUS CRICKET FANS.

      As a cricketer and from a cricket family I found the book compelling. I knew one of the players in the book. it is a rarity so i suppose the high price is justified. but i have seen one for sale at several hundred pounds. Should have bought some when it was published.
