Suffering with depression. :eek:

I can only wish him all the best and hope he can recover from whatever issues are plaguing him at the minute. Sad news..
 


Fair enough it may be depression but surely the training has to be criticised. Never under Fletcher or anyone else did we sustain so many injuries from just training. Broad, Swann, Morgan, Pieterson, Yardy, etc have all struggled to make it to/through the World Cup.

It's not the training that is the problem, it's the ridiculous scheduling of international cricket. Nobody knows just what the root of Yardy's problems are but I'd say there's a fair chance he is rundown and tired of the constant and at times monotonous international schedule he has faced in the last 12 months.

Like I say nobody knows the real reasons but he's a man who has come into the England side quite late in his career, and perhaps the constant travelling in the last year or so has been very alien to him and he's struggled?. Even if this has nothing to do with Yardy's problems you can't argue the calendar is ridiculous.

True, it is hectic but they are professionals. Footballers play 9-10 months and sometimes more if there's a major international tournament on.

International crickets play almost all year round. There's a break from September until the winter tours start (which had the Champions Trophy in it the other year) and there is a break around February to April but that now has a world cup and the IPL in it. Then you're into the English summer where there's 5 months of more or less none stop cricket.

And then you've got the travelling. There's no test playing nations within thousands of miles of here.

Exactly. Even a regular county cricketer which Yardy pretty much is as he's doesn't play tests, will spend a lot of time away from home travelling the "circuit"

Not like it used to be where you were away four months on end though getting a ship all the way around the world. Plus now they fly their families over and stuff, can't be thaaaat bad playing a sport you love at the highest level in Barbados or Perth can it?

On the outer it doesn't sound that bad no, but different people will take to it differently and some won't take to spending so much time away from home, especially when they can't really let their hair down and do their own thing. A lot of the time is spent training/playing and then resting in the hotel, it's probably the monotony of it all that gets to players mostly, especially those with families. It's a great thing touring if you are a young, single lad, but not so for a married man with 2 kids.

I'm not so sure about that. Maybe sometimes, but the families are certainly aren't always there.

Flintoff tried to make the best of being married with kids when he was captain. He nearly managed just they couldn't hear him from the pedalo...
 
Hope Yardy return to some sort of normality quickly but unfortunately this illness is likely to be with him for the rest of his life.

f***ing depressed!!!!!

Playing a game that you love for a living, travelling the world, staying in best of hotels, never enduring a British winter, having a laugh with your mates day in day out. Get real!!!

fair enough he might be missing the wife and kids but after his career is over then he'll have plenty of time for them and be living reasonably comfortable I would have thought not worrying about mortgages and other bills.

Get a grip man and grow a pair
