vishalvirsingh Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It was a Major Accident - Rarest of the rare. Hope Abbot comes out of the tension he may be facing. May be the Test match also gets delayed. Link to comment
BlueBee Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 when i heard he was critical even today' date=' i kinda knew it in the back of my head that this will happen but was hoping against hope that hell pull through. an amazing guy.[/quote'] Same here damn :(( Link to comment
Precambrian Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 And hence my point stands even more. Indian domestic teams don't have "excellent treatment" on the ground. This is NOT either/or - the focus should be on both mitigating risk and tackling when such situations happen. Sir, no grounds in the world are equipped to deal with extremely rare, freak cases like these. Hughes was lucky (for a limited time :( ) because there was someone in the crowd who came forward to help. The probability of such incidents happening are extremely rare. The onus should be on designing better helmets that cover the prone area rather than having a team of specialist doctors on stand-by for all cricket matches that happen the world over.

Sid_SuhaiL Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 When was/is it supposed to start ? 4 december Link to comment
Desi Cartman Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 4 december Neither do I care for the test nor would be affected if it's cancelled but if I were one of the Aussie players, I would probably want to go out and play for Phil. Maybe I'm not aware of how bad his colleagues and friends are feeling right now :(( Link to comment

Raghav_12 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I was dreading this news when I logged into Internet. When I heard induced coma, I thought at worst he'll go through some paralysis which can be cured. But this is devastating, just to think. Link to comment
Malcolm Merlyn Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I doubt the test will be cancelled.May be delayed by a day. Link to comment

IKnowU Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I doubt the test will be cancelled.May be delayed by a day. Yep, they have to draw the line somewhere. If they cancel 1st test, they might as well cancel the whole series to mourn and recover. Only thing is with these things, the funerals are usually a week after in western cultures....so that might throw spanner into the works. Link to comment
Precambrian Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I doubt the test will be cancelled.May be delayed by a day. Just need to salute the courage and mental strength of Tendulkar who returned to national duty immediately after his father's cremation. Cannot believe what must have gone through his mind at that time. Not everyone be that mentally strong, and understandably. I think the wise decision will be to cancel the first test match.

You can understand the effect of the blow that whole Shield round was cancelled even before this news. Link to comment
