Breaking : Phil Hughes passes away .. Sad day for Cricket

[Raghav_12]

I don't really know how else one would react to such a situation. My experience in India and outside has taught me that people are fundamentally similar everywhere. If something like that happened in India I wouldn't expect the Australian team to behave any differently. It is basic human nature.

Yup. Totally Agree.

Vale Phillip :(( Rest in Peace

Virat Kholi was there among others and he was nothing short of respectful. Actually I have been 100 times over impressed with the whole Indian team. Kholi has proved himself to be not just a great cricketer, but a great person. He didn't have to be there. Well done to every single person.

I really think every single member of the Indian team should have been there at the funeral. They're in Australia, and would not have had other commitments.

We'll see you in the middle Phil, every time we watch cricket.

One of the most heartening things seen in this tragedy was the way the cricketers, Aus cricket administration, fans and the media supported Sean Abbott. If something like this had happened in India then by now there would have been a case against him, the media would have been running its own trials on prime time and they would have been asking him/his family questions like "do you feel responsible for his death" etc.

At aam junta level, they would have been as mature. But, insensitive media sensationalizing issues to a very inhuman extent is very common in India these days. IndiaTV being the worst. They are so judgmental just to catch viewers attention.
