Shocking CEO. I barely attend cricket anymore because the schedule is so messed up and no proper one day series because idiot CEO's like this have Big Bash as a priority over other cricket that means more to me.

What was the cause of Thorpe's death?

[@RachaelDilks-h2l]

It’s such a sad story, his problems started way back in 1997 when the woman he had fling with on a NZ tour sold her story News of the World. Thorpe’s then wife also sold her stories to UK tabloids saying that he habitually cheated on her. Then a very public and acrimonious divorce and custody battle folllowed. He had a mental breakdown during the Lord’s test in 2002 and took a year out. He seemed to have turned his life around when he married for the second time in 2007 but clearly the demons were always there. He tried to commit suicide in May 2022, was in intensive care for 4 months. His second attempt in 4th Aug was sadly successful when he threw himself under a train 😢

@@sentimentalbloke185 he was definitely England’s best player in the 90s / early 2000s and a good coach by all accounts. If you get to read his autobiography published in 2005, an interesting read.

@@RachaelDilks-h2l Yes, for the Aussies he was the hardest nut to crack, harder than Stewart, Atherton, Hussain etc. Shame he had his demons & couldn't exorcise them.

Thanks for letting us all know about your new venture, Peter. 👍 I have subscribed. Hockley may have done some 'good' things, but he was a PR disaster. This is not sustainable by ANY organisation - let alone the CEO of Cricket Australia. M 🦘🏏😎
