Stress, depression and stigma
May. 13th, 2007 03:17 pmFrom the BBC:
Given England's track record of rushing the chosen ones back into the international team after physical injury with little or no evidence that they were in any shape to perform at the highest level this seems somewhat inconsistent. After all, Trescothick has been scoring runs like they were going out of style. It's hard to resist the idea that Trescothick is being punished for having mental health problems in a way that a player with a dodgy back, like Vaughan, isn't.
Graveney said there was no intention of picking Marcus Trescothick "in the foreseeable future" after the Somerset man's various stress-related problems.
