Cricket gave Martin Crowe a name but, ironically, was also one of the contributing factors to his cancer, which he has been fighting for nearly 12 months. Crowe opens up to Matt Richens on stuff.co.nz on his misunderstandings with Sky Television and New Zealand Cricket, the Ross Taylor controversy that hurt him personally, and why his biggest regret still remains getting out for 299 against Sri Lanka.
But Crowe's story is no longer a cricket story. Or one about hair. It's a story of a man who lived his life in public with his heart on his sleeve. The story of a man who took criticism too personally and who let his stress get the better of him. A man who looked so in control at the crease yet, by his own admission, had large periods of his life where he was out of control.
