That the Yorkshireman has had his share of setbacks on the way to becoming one of the leading wicketkeeper-batsmen in the world, or that the young Bairstow was an extremely talented footballer and rugby player are noteworthy, but only a small part of his tale.Jonny's father David, also a wicketkeeper, had a 20-year career with Yorkshire and played four Tests for England. In 1998, he took his own life.
[img]http://www.eaglesnflofficialonlines.com/images/products/nike_nfl_jer... mark the release of his autobiography, A Clear Blue Sky, Bairstow spoke to former England captain Michael Vaughan for a BBC Radio 5 live special to be broadcast on Thursday, 19 October.He talks openly about his father, his family, his emotional maiden Test century in Cape Town, thoughts of quitting cricket to play rugby and what it is like to spend Christmas at Geoffrey Boycott's house.Suffering from depression, worried about money and facing htt... a drink-driving charge, David Bairstow ended his own life at the age of 46.
He was discovered by eight-year-old Jonny, his younger sister Becky and their mother Janet, who at the time was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
"Me and my sister were both very young. In some ways, yes, you do remember everything that went on because it is only us who will remember that. At the same time there are bits of it you choose not to remember, that you choose to park."We went to school the next day. For me, that was really powerful. It was mum's way of dealing with it, her way of saying 'yes, that's happened now, but we have to deal with it in a certain way'.
"It makes you grow up very quickly. There's a huge sense of realisation around everything. At the same time, when you're eight years old, you don't really know everything that's happened. You understand it a bit, but you don't understand all of it."There are questions that are unanswered, but there's no point in revisiting those questions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
If you're constantly striving for questions that are never going to be answered, then you're only being detrimental to your own mental health."There are so many bits that I didn't know right away, but I've learned, even when I've been doing the book. Having a setback like that can make you mature very quickly."
By taking his own life, David nullified his life insurance policy. In his autobiography, Jonny explains that he knew money was sometimes tight when he was growing up."That's why it's been so good to keep pushing forward and represent England, to make Mum proud for the days she took to me to train with Leeds United, three times a week from the age of seven to 15, as well as bringing me to Headingley, looking after my sister, taking us to school and feeding us."If you stack everything that Mum did with the help of Grandma and Grandpa and all of our friends, it was ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Bairstow made his Test debut in 2012 and, despite making 95 in his fourth match against South Africa, needed more than three years to earn a regular spot in the England side.When Bairstow faced South Africa again, he once more found himself on 95, this time at lunch on the second day of the second Test in Cape Town."I was dripping wet. I didn't take my pads off, I didn't eat, I just sat there saying 'it's not happening again'."I knew they would start with Morne Morkel after [url=http://www.authenticoaklandathletics.com/Glenn-Hubbard-Jersey]Glenn Hubbard Authentic Jersey lunch, but when they then used the medium-pace of Stiaan van Zyl, I just wanted him to bowl a short, wide one."Getting to that first hundred was just ht... a relief. I was five short four years earlier, so it was four years of questions. Will I get the opportunity again? What could have I achieved if I [url=http://www.authenticoaklandathletics.com/Glenn-Hubbard-Jersey]Glenn Hubbard Authentic Jersey had made that Glenn Hubbard Authentic Jersey ton?"
