For thirty years cricket author David Frith has collected data on this sad subject. SILENCE OF THE HEART- Cricket Suicides is his compelling account of over 100 cricketers - involving top names from the past hundred years - who have taken their own lives, with an explanation of factors which led to their premature deaths. Can the shocking rate of self-destruction among cricketers be reduced? can those who run the game do something to save its participants from this dreadful fate? 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.

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.
