beetle Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I'm sure I'm not the only one but I enjoy quality fast bowling. Fiery fast bowling with aggressive bouncers but this is such a freak accident that I don't know how it will impact bowlers like Johnson now. :(( This is when you sit back and realize that cricket at the end of the day is just a bloody game. This will surely have a huge psychological impact on everyone. +1

Cricket_Hacker Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 btw what was the speed of the bouncer? 140 kmph,saw somewhere

FischerTal Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Still crying. Man there are child rapists, riot inciters, Isis terrorists who continue to sicken us with their presence on this earth. This man was a gem of a human being. He didn't deserve to die, not this young :((
SLICKR392 Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Cricket Australia made this wonderful video as a special tribute to Phil Hughes - has some never seen earlier footage https://amp.twimg.com/v/9e5a87dd-4059-4555-a805-814ad3e636f2 He is so innocent.

Lord Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 He is so innocent. Oh why him ? He is one of their future! just cant believe this happened to him. A gem of a person a gem of a cricketer. :((
Vilander Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 been hopelessly reading article after article...there is reporting in US,China etc...they say this is one of most tragic in sport demise similar to Senna in F1... was a kid then, but this one is hitting esp since he was so well known and much was expected from him..and was so young. This is incredibly difficult to let go. In time we all will feel better. Poor Abbot. View from a bowlers Lawrrence who had such an unfortunate incident with Phil Simmons ( who recovered) feels its very difficult near impossible for Sean to recover from this. Civilians don't expect to see friends die in front of them in action. http://live.sportlive.co.za/?sport=news&page=news&view=article&news_id=506621
sweetaskandy Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 RIP son. He was 21 years my junior. :((
mastana Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 find some measure of peace guys.. That's brilliant.
