Cricket - Phil Hughes

Tragic news, thoughts are with his family.

I cannot even begin to imagine how the bowler bowled the ball will be feeling today.

RIP Phill Hughes.
 
Just tragic. As was said on a Hockey forum when a player died a while back: nobody expects to go out onto the field and not come back.

Thoughts with the family and Sean Abbott.
 
Terrible news, as already mentioned I feel sad for the bowler.
So is this the beginning of the end for the bouncer in cricket?

I don't expect it to stop the bouncer but think the bowler will struggle now
 
Dreadful news. Ans also spare a thought for the lad who bowled it. Listening to the reports this morning it was a freak accident to hit him where it did, but also extremely rare for a blow to that area to cause the damage it did.
 
Tragic news to wake up to - RIP. Terrible for the family and can't imagine how Sean Abbott is feeling - unbelievably sad.
 
Sad news

No doubt they will be redesigning the helmet

Feel sorry for the bowler also

The difficulty is in designing a helmet that protects all areas of the head whilst, at the same time, is sufficiently comfortable to enable the batsman to wear it for potentially long periods.

No sport can ever be made 100% safe either by equipment or rule changes and there will, sadly, always be tragic accidents such as this.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and team-mates as well as Sean Abbott, the bowler.
