Report on TV a moment ago suggested the ball hit underneath the helmet? Side/back of the head?

Will be 24 to 48 hours before results of the surgery are know.

This is unbelievably bad.

Just awful news. My thoughts are with Phil and his family.

Also hope that they look after Sean Abbott he must be feeling awful.

Thoughts are very much with him.  Hope for the best,  you have to think that ever things in his favor,  all the experts ect around him and every done right from the start.  Good luck to him. 



Wonder when the helmet issue will be brought up.  Looks like an older mesuri to me.  Hope the other companies don't jump on this one like they have on other events.

There has never been a helmet invented that could have prevented this injury. The ball has struck below the helmet line below the back of the ear. A freakish place to get hit that happened due the instinctive turning away of the head. I am still in shock.

Agreed. I don't think any helmet could have prevented that injury. Awful. He's been terribly unlucky. I hope he pulls through OK. Abbott must be feeling terrible.

Yeah until they make full head helmets Im afraid none that none on the market would of changed the outcome.

Tait? You mean Abbott? He would be feeling terrible at the moment. As would all who were there at the ground. Bad enough just seeing it in the news
