Tragic. Lost his battle. :-(

Very sad news indeed

 

[spence]

That's awful news to wake up to. I'm stunned.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh how awful. RIP. My thoughts are with his family and also with the bowler, who must also be devastated. The whole cricketing world will be in shock after this. Terrible

 

[Frutos]

Awful news.

RIP.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Awful news. RIP Phil Hughes. Thoughts go out to the bowler Abbott as well.

 

[Hyperion]

Awful news. RIP Fella

I hope they now review the design of the helmets to try and make it safer.

Awful news. RIP Phil Hughes. Thoughts go out to the bowler Abbott as well.

Did I just hear right on BBC that the bowler was also a close friend of Hughes?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Crikey. That's incredibly sad. Life is a fragile thing

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Dreadful news, RIP Phil.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Awful news. RIP Fella

I hope they now review the design of the helmets to try and make it safer.

They had an interview with a company yesterday who have done just that. Unfortunately it came too late

RIP To a great cricketer. Really feel for the bowler, Abbott, who must be having a terrible time

Quite often the case but at least that's something.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Very sad - he spent some time playing at Worcester recently.
As a cricket coach this makes very tough news for me to motivate our younger players [u15 / u17 county lads].
Sean Abbott was a good mate of Phil and he must be absolutely distraught.
RIP

Yes they were apparently good friends.

Very sad news RIP - I fell for his family and friends, but also for the guy who bowled that ball - he will need a lot of help to get through this.

Fate is a cruel master. Condolences to the family of Phil Hughes, massive love and support to Sean Abbott.

 

[Beach Hut]

[Paskman]
