R.I.P. Phillip Hughes

AUSTRALIAN TEST Cricketer Phillip Hughes died this afternoon (Thursday p.m., AEDT), after being hit in the head (actually on the side of his neck..) by a bouncer during a Tuesday Sheffield Shield match while batting for South Australia against NSW.

Newcastle Herald wrote:
"Hughes has been in an induced coma since the accident on Tuesday afternoon.

Hughes, 25, was hit on the side of the head when he attempted to hook the bouncer, delivered by NSW paceman Sean Abbott at the SCG on Tuesday.

While he seemed to compose himself, the former Test opener leant forward, put his hands on his knees and, after a few seconds, suddenly collapsed head-first on to the pitch.

It was horrific, and the desperation of the moment was reflected by the way the umpires and his former teammates raced to his aid....."

SHEFFIELD SHIELD cricket matches were 'abandoned' across Australia since Tuesday (Cricket Aus' could possibly declare this week's rounds "null" ?).
SOME International cricket matches and tests were being abandoned, cancelled or suspended across the world today as news that Phillip Hughes never regained consciousness spread around the international cricket community..

Apart from feeling terribly bad for the family of Hughes, you really have to feel for the bowler.
RIP Mr Hughes

A tragedy for the young man who reached the very pinnacle in his sport by representing his country.

I doubt the guy who bowled the bouncer will ever bowl another ball again. He should though because it's not his fault - just a tragic accident.

RIP Phillip Hughes.
