It is difficult to express how one feels at such times. To say i'm devastated seems inappropriate given the plight of those much closer to the lad. Just a sickening tragedy with no parallel. RIP

Watching the photos and tributes makes me so sad thinking about his demise. He had so much to look for in life and to die in this fashion is just unbelievable, very very tragic.

[SLICKR392]

Hard to believe he is gone.

Even for us fans its too hard believe that he is no more! It just happened all of a sudden, no one would have imagined this even in their wildest dream. Its devastating enough to cause an irreparable pain to his family :(

Feel sorry for him. Just a child - to die so young is a tragedy.

Never knew him but feels like he was someone close. So closely attached to this game that this incident makes me cry. Cant believe the guy I had just seen play isnt there any more, literally died on the pitch. Cricket is not the same anymore for fans and even more for cricketers. Memories of this accident wont go away too easily, a trauma that will haunt us mentally. We will no longer take the game easy.

Oh god, was not following cricket for a while. Went to cricinfo and saw this sad news. RIP. This just goes to show you, players puts their life at stake to represent their nations and we just take it as granted and bash them as we please.
