RIP Hughesy.

Terrible outcome for his family and friends especially for the poor bloke who bowled the ball.

Nobody is to blame. Just a freak accident. Worst part of the skull to take a hit. The bone there shatters and ends up like shrapnel in the brain. He was lucky to make it off the ground alive. RIP. Thoughts with him and his family and team mates.

Such a freak accident, lets hope there is alot of support for Sean Abbott.

Why? Not his fault!

Why? Not his fault!

He knows that, everyone else knows that but he will carry the mental scars with him for the rest of his life.

Why? Not his fault!

no it wasnt his fault but imagine how he feels. Bet he never bowls another bouncer.

Raj, maybe this will give you an idea

luckily Constable survived. Can't imagine the effect if he hadn't as is the case here.

Unless you have been in the same situation, please don't pontificate in your usual style. It's not the time nor the place.

Apparently Sean Abbot didn't leave Phil Hughes bed side , a great loss to cricket
