John Mooney

John Mooney continued his rehabilitation with a sparkling 96 for Ireland at Malahide yesterday but it wasn't enough to prevent Scotland notching an eight-wicket victory in the dead rubber of the three-match ODI series.

Mooney, who was unable to complete Ireland's tour of the Caribbean tour in February, has revealed the details of a two-year battle with depression that led to heavy drinking and had him contemplating suicide.
