bazza Posted 25 November, 2014 Share Posted 25 November, 2014 Incredibly unfortunate for the ball to miss the helmet. As you said, let's hope he makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he pulls through ok! Must have ducked into it surely though, how else could it hit him on the back of the head under the helmet.

St Jim Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 RIP Phillip Hughes. Very talented player (first Aussie to hit a 100 on ODI debut & youngest player to score two century's in a single test). Such a tragic freak accident. Thoughts with his family and friends but also to his mate Sean Abbott, the bowler who did nothing wrong but will have this with him for the rest of his life.

krissyboy31 Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 (edited) RIP. A sad day for all involved and for cricket as a whole. Spare a thought for the poor guy that bowled the delivery. Must be absolutely devestated. Edited 27 November, 2014 by krissyboy31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 27 November, 2014 Share Posted 27 November, 2014 Very sad news indeed, an extremely talented cricketer with most of his career in front of him. Thoughts with his family and to Sean Abbott who must be devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans gruber Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 Very sad news indeed, an extremely talented cricketer with most of his career in front of him. Thoughts with his family and to Sean Abbott who must be devastated. i think you are right.... started off like a house on fire... got found out... but most likely had the the majority of his test career in front of him as he tried to reinvent himself.... he was actually such a nice bloke too if you look at all the interviews he did... everyone here in australia is totally just shocked by it all... apparently an injury that there has only ever been 100 cases ever . didnt know the guy but totally gutted. sean abbot had been playing in the aussie 20/20 team and one day teams of late too... not sure how it will affect him but he's not coping at the moment which you can understand. saying that, i hope the test series against india goes ahead next thursday though not sure seeing some of the footage any of the players will be in the right frame of mind... rip Hughesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 29 November, 2014 Share Posted 29 November, 2014 Steffan Jones @SteffanJones105 In Oz a young lad today scored 37 for his club then walked off. He walked off & said he finished the innings off for Phil Hughes. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
