Phillip Hughes RIP

[SENsei]

RIP Phil Hughes.

Absolute tragedy.

[The Redeemer]

Absolutely gutted

[SemperFidelis]

Unimaginable. Just so desperately sad.

[Old Mate]

RIP. Far too young to pass. I feel for his family and those close to him.

Have some f****** respect mods and move this back to the main board.

[SENsei]

Spare a thought too for Sean Abbott.

[GrumpyOne]

RIP Phil, support for Sean.

[The Redeemer]

Spare a thought too for Sean Abbott.

Jesus christ. Utter shock.

[Dis Believer]

RIP

Gutted and cannot imagine his family's grief. Brought me to tears and that is a very rare event....

[8856brother]

How many bouncers, every day, every week, are faced by cricketers all over the world. It's just not fair.

My deepest sympathies go out to all his family and friends as well as everyone involved in cricket here and abroad who played with, against or knew Phillip.

Watching cricket will never be the same for me again.

[HitTheBoundary]

So, so sad. Unbelievable.

[plugger66]

Mods wont move other thread. Far to important to be on the other forum. What a very sad day. Must say I am gutted.

[HitTheBoundary]

Yep. Puts all this angst about a draft in perspective.

Very very sad news.

[desertsaint]

RIP Phil Hughes. Very sad.

[fingers]

Horrible news.

[Devilhead]

Terrible news - Thoughts for his family, friends and Sean Abbott

[gringo]

s***, I was really thinking he'd pull up okay. That's an absolute tragedy. I can't imagine what his family is going through, one minute he's going to take Clarke's spot and then this.

[On the Bench]

RIP Phil. Thanks for making the world a better place.

I lost a dear mate the same way in the early 8o's. The only blessing from Steve Wearne's tragic death was that helmets became compulsory in many grades of cricket.

[Sobraz]

Beyond words.

Absolutely gutted by this.

Horrible, horrible tragedy.

Feel almost as much for the young bowler Abbott. Can not imagine how he feels.

RIP.

+ A hell of a lot,

may the world give this young fella strength.

[plugger66]

I think I need to turn the radio and TV off. I didn't think I could feel so sad for someone I have never met.

[Playon]

My God that's a shock, I thought he would've pulled through.
Reminds me never to take a day for granted.

All my sympathies to the family. Way to young. sorry to hear it.

[remboy]

Hard to believe this could possible with all of the protective gear the players wear. Feel terrible for his family and The guy who bowled the ball. I've played cricket for over 25 years, opened the batting for many, and never worn a helmet. I know the bowling is nowhere near as fast but this just shows anything can happen. A terrible day for sport.

[Old Mate]

The bloke on fox sports news doing a fantastic job keeping himself together.

A sad day for Australia. Vale Phillip Hughes.
