Channel 7 & 9 are disgusting stations that shouldn't be watched under any circumstances. I nearly threw up when a 9 reporter said "this is akin to Princess Diana".
Depressing news.

Unbelievable, just awful, seems a bit surreal. RIP Phillip Hughes.

What a travesty, so much more ahead of him. Consigned to the record books well before his time.
Wow. Been following the news and a text from my brother just brought my night to a hault. I can never see that footage again, knowing his life basically ended at that moment.
I feel sick inside.

This is absolutely devastating. Closest I have come to tears in a long while. Can't imagine what both his family and Sean Abbott would be feeling right now. R.I.P. Phil Hughes. Gone way too soon. 
**** me I hate the media. Most of the time.
Yep, the short consciousness after impact suggested to me a massive haemorrhage. Or more to the point, the manner in which he fell unconscious after a brief lucid moment. Your chances of a positive outcome are next to none depending on blood supply to the brain. Makes you reflect on your mortality. There could be a cerebral aneurysm in any one of us at any age and it is like a time bomb. Make the most of the life you're given.
What a shocking comparison. So clueless by them.

The way he was carted off the field, he looked completely limp. I wanted him to recover, but I think part of me knew it was going to come to this.Based on the explanation from the Doctors, when he collapsed on the field, he was gone
Still can't believe it.
This news isn't a surprise, but it's so upsetting

He was talking incredibly fast and upbeat. It was bizarre.

I don't know how Clarke managed to front that Presser. Well done to him for doing it. It was a really nice touch.
Yes, kudos Pup. It's sad that a tragedy is sometimes the best time to see someone in a different light, but I've now changed my views on Warner and, to an extent, Clarke.
If that's the case, here's an idea. Abandon the Gabba test. Make it the Phil Hughes memorial match. India versus a CA XI. 5 days. Result doesn't matter. Gives the Indians a replacement tour match, gives the players a chance to grieve without feeling like they're letting their country down, we still get a game of cricket, and Hughes is honored with the game he loved.

R.I.P Phillip. Condolences to His Family and Friends, Hopefully Sean Abbott is okay. Must be horrible at the moment.

He looked in a very shocked state. To read the Hughes family's statement must have been an incredibly difficult thing for him to do.
Pretty much exactly what I said on the Richmond board cricket thread, but I really felt certain he would recover and play again for some reason, perhaps it was just hope.
Only 25 years old, I'm not going to pretend that doesn't make it seem worse to me, so young.

Such a shame. Thoughts go to his family and friends.
Also, my thoughts are for Sean Abbott. He shouldn't blame himself for this, but often people in his position do and wonder if they could have done something different. He shouldn't blame himself.
I hate to say that I am not totally surprised at the outcome, unfortunately. Just language that was being used and the news reports gave me the feeling that the prognosis wasn't good, and even if he had lived, I doubt he would have played again, and may have even had his life dramatically affected.
