Oh gosh imagine losing your life at the thing you love? it really underscores what a dangerous sport cricket is; I remember at my old High School there was a beggar that came to solicit money once in a while, he used to put on a show with his guitar, and he was blind, he lost both his eyes to a cricket ball while playing cricket, but atleast he has life, I can't say the same for Mr. Hughes. Sad, sad, sad!!!
I am outta words but i pity Abbott too.It wasn't his fault.I am sad for what he is going through.A sense of guilt,agony.Hughes was a great talent and his name shall always remain well etched in our hearts.
Despite being on the opponents side.I believe this should be cancelled.The team is completely grief stricken and it should take some time to come out of their shell.
I can't help pity the ones involved in this..especially cally and abbott
RIP Hughes..The world will miss u.
Quote: Alastair Cook, England's captain, said discussions had taken place about whether to play the second ODI against Sri Lanka on Saturday but that the players from both sides wanted the game to go ahead as a tribute to Phillip Hughes, whose death on Thursday has left the cricket world stricken with grief. The players will wear black armbands, with a two-minute silence to be observed before the start.
Hughes played against and alongside several members of the England squad and individuals will be free to opt out, should they choose. Moeen Ali, at Worcestershire, and Steven Finn and Eoin Morgan at Middlesex were team-mates of Hughes during time spent in county cricket, and the most likely to be affected, but the feeling is that everyone wants to be involved.
The second ODI starts in a little more than 4 hours time.
The first Test between Australia and India that was scheduled to start in Brisbane next Thursday has been postponed until an unspecified date to allow the cricket world time to grieve over the death of Phillip Hughes.
With funeral arrangements for Hughes confirmed by his family today for his home town of Macksville – midway between Brisbane and Sydney – next Wednesday afternoon, Cricket Australia has announced that it was neither feasible nor fair to begin the Test as originally planned the next day.
