RIP Phillip Hughes

I am in shock after hearing this sad news... I am not sure how many of other forum members are cricket fans etc.. I am a cricket tragic who plays grade cricket on the weekends and follows cricket everyday of the week... More than anything such a young age to demise !!!

I have been watching this very closely and I half expected them to make the call today and so I kept an eye on the news throughout today hoping he'd make it past day 3 .. sadly they did announce the bad news this afternoon
very sad but it was obviously a terrible head injury from the start

I have sons around the same age and it breaks my heart to see a young man in the prime of his life struck down so instantly
Makes you (well me) want to give your sons a big huge hug and appreciate having them to hold

A very sad day for Australian cricket and for the Hughes family

How sad to hear that this cricketers life has come to an early.

My thoughts are with his family and especially the bowler that bowled that ball.

I wonder how many cricketers will give the game away as a result.

Accidents will happen.

Unbelievable accident with a terrible outcome. Just listened to a doctor explain the nature and rarity of the injury that resulted from the impact of the ball. RIP Phil Hughes.
