Guys,

Sorry to be the first one to post this, it's utterly horrible news.

Cricket Australia has released a statement saying Phil Hughes has passed away.

Numb. Totally numb.

Terrible, terrible news...

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

I'm shattered. So young. At least he got to die doing what he loved, not many people can say that.

I don't even want to play this week now.

And this has just made me feel incredibly angry... the BCCI still want the first test to happen. That decision lies solely with the Australian players in my book...

If true, which it most likely is, then it is shameful, disrespectful and repulsive from Indian board, money hungry bast***s...

well tour game cancelled and 1st test in doubt

understandable with the events so I hope its not the boards view but just some off comment from a random person as no one would forgive BCCI or any board for making aus play the test if the players were not in the right frame of mind

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I really doubt the Indian players would be driving this...they would be feeling pretty low at this time like anybody else.

The BCCI, however, view everything as a business that has to go on at any cost.

The funeral will likely be some time middle next week. I cannot imagine any Oz test player wanting to front up the next day to a test match with their headspace elsewhere.

Will be interesting to see where all this goes...but right now, Australia is shattered. Being cricket fanatics, we all feel like we have lost a brother or a son.

RIP Phil, you will never be forgotten.

even BCCI would not push this as there would be a revolt in aus and hopefully the cricket world

hopefully as I said it was a comment not thought through rather than the boards stance and everyone will respect this tragedy

Terrible news that has shocked everyone. Thoughts must also go to the bowler. he was only doing his job, bowling in a manner expected of a pace bowler and now has to live with the fact that a short one has led to a freak death. He is in no way to blame but no doubt the guilt will live long. A horrible thing to happen but an accident with no-one to blame.
