RIP Phil Hughes.
I can't even express my sadness. Unorthodox, entertaining and apparently a terrific bloke.
You were a great fit for the Baggy Green and will be missed.

This will sound weird but it just continues to boggle my mind and I just can't get my head around this one thing.....how many hundreds of thousands of deliveries have been bowled all over the world in test and first class cricket, even encompassing the pre helmet era, and we have never seen anything like this to the best of my knowledge....how damned unlucky the bloke must of been?
Just feels beyond freakish.
Just feels beyond freakish.
Was there when he was the first Aussie batsmen to make an ODI century on debut in January last year, was a very special moment and will be my number 1 memory of him. At least he died peacefully, pain free and died doing what he loved, which you couldn't say about most people throughout history. Still, way too young and his best was certainly ahead of him.
RIP.
RIP.

Watched him at the G vs the Vics last year, he made an unreal ton. The potential was endless, on and off the field. Still can't believe it, I presumed he was gonna be back playing cricket in no time. Just a really weird feeling.

Yes, that was a nice tribute. Up until tonight I have given the TV a wide berth, couldn't bear to see the distraught players these past few days.
To give credit where it's due SEN's coverage has been good too, from Tuesday right up until the sad news today. They had a lovely interview with Gideon Haigh this afternoon who really put into words how most of us are feeling. In fact that's how I found out, I jumped in the car and turned the radio on and they were halfway through the interview and Gideon was talking generally about Hughes' cricket. I hoped it was just a pre-arranged interview but then something was said and I knew he was gone... can't put into words how sad I felt
I still can't fathom that we'll never see him on the field ever again.

The images of abbott are just heartbreaking. Still i think that he should be left alone by the media at a time like this.
wouldn't have been surprised if they included a price and where to order from in their statements. filth

Agreed - it feels like it is basically like being struck by lightning twice on the same day.
An absolute tragedy
RIP Phillip

Didn't hear what Taylor said but Border's comments were before we knew that Phillip had passed away and he did say it would depend on what the next few days held.
do yourselves a favour and avoid the Dailymail.

Absolutely shocked.

To hear that there have only been 100 recorded deaths by this type of injury and only this one from a cricket ball.... it has to be one in a billion, maybe trillion if you think about how many balls have been bowled since the game "cricket" began.

None do.
What was that ridiculous helmet Michael Carberry played in last summer?
I would be ditching that in a hurry.
He's still a knob, but he and Hughes were very, very close.

Saw this on twitter
Still can't believe it.
I always thought he'd definitely have the time to come back and make his mark at international level.
The fact that he won't ever have the chance again, * he'll never play Sheffield Shield again is just so hard to digest

I haven't been hit so hard by a non-family death since Steve Irwin died, and he died doing what he loved too.

Why? It lessens the impact of when the ball hits the helmet itself. Other than that it's exactly the same.
