Trescothick splits!?

Personally I feel sorry for the guy.

I'd much rather have any number of broken bones than a nervous breakdown or any other form of mental illness.

Cricket is just as much about being mentally hardy and adept as it is about being physically capable.

So why the incredulity in this kind of withdrawal?

Nothing to do with Aussie macho culture, of course! I'd think even Beefy has a more sympathetic take on this. Or perhaps not. He should certainly be given the benefit of the doubt given that we don't know the details.
