How soft is this bloke!!
I'd give anything to have the God given talent to be able to bowl faster than anyone in the world and be on the verge of breaking into the worlds best cricket team.
Sure the injuries would be getting him down, and the pressure would certainly be on him to perform in every opportunity he is given. But isn't it the same in everyones job? There's crap parts to every type of employment, you just gotta focus on the positives.
TOUGHEN UP PRINCESS!

Bit harsh.
Had SO much put on him, advertising campaigns - seen as the next great big thing for Aussie and World Cricket...
Hasn't done overly well in the figures department and there would be a lot of pressure.
Give the guy a break.

That's over simplifying it a bit.

Yeah...tough gig playing sport and getting paid for it. Can't say he had no idea about the pressures of being an Australian cricketer, surely?
Assuming he's not genuinely clinicly depressed, toughen up. Quite shocked actually cos he's a country boy and I expect better.

Work is the biggest cause of stress in the world, at least the statistics say that. Just because his job is sport doesn't mean it can't happen.
I'm not saying he's NOT soft - just a bit hard to judge so quickly either way.
If he geniunely feels this way, so be it. surely it's better for him to do what he thinks is right than what everyone else thinks is right.
He's missing out on money, or at least the chance of it, buy doing this.

Why?
It's not like he's taken over 700 wickets
