Pomersbach leaves professional cricket

[PTizzle]

Due to depression - feel for the bloke. I'm hoping that recent events have made it easier for players to come out and put their hand up and say they need help. Leaves with a very tidy FC and BBL record. All the best Luke.

Good luck to him. Massive blow for Queensland.

Ridiculously talented player, Pomers.

Poor bloke. Hope he can recover.

I remember him debuting as a late call up years ago in T20

Pomersbach played with the same local junior club that I came from. He was always immensely talented, but he could never quite get his head in the right place to make it properly on the big stage. Really sad to hear this, I hope he's okay long-term.

Narrator: He was not.

Geez.

Genuinely think he could have been anything, this bloke. Loved watching him smoke the ball around in the Shield for WA. Would have played a lot of Test cricket in a time where batsmen have been fairly hard to find.

74 and 63 on debut, guided WA to an important win

Yes, fantastic player to watch and underrated as a red ball batsman by many.

I do remember hearing he was a loose unit even before he debuted so in a sense it is no real surprise. Such a shame that nobody was ever able to help him find a way to settle down and harness his potential.

Remember Luke Pomersbach? He's currently living in his car and facing theft charges

Not many years ago, Western Australia cricketer Luke Pomersbach was a known name in the T20 circles. He was picked for the Indian Premier League

I knew he has had troubles, but I didn't know he was living out of his car now.

So sad as he was a talented player.
