Nicholls, Barry,
Second innings : on men, mental health and cricket / 2nd innings. Barry Nicholls. - 190 pages ; 21 cm.
Second Innings is a memoir about the author's struggle with mental health and the road to recovery, using his love of the game of cricket to make sense of it all. Set partly in the present, Second Innings includes flashbacks through five decades of life in suburban and regional Australia and focuses particularly on the lives of the men across the generations of Nicholls' own family. It tells the story of the journey from teacher to print journalist to broadcaster, from Adelaide to the Red Centre to Western Australia. Second Innings shows what can happen when long-term unresolved anxiety takes hold and it demonstrates the value of finding compassionate and understanding medical professionals who provide a path toward the light when all is lost. As Greg Chappell helps teach this writer: in life there is always a second innings.
