Hit him on the neck, split an artery and caused a hemorrhage on the brain, ball didn't touch his skull. Bleeding is always the biggest problem with brain/head (and in this case neck) injuries, not shattered bone.

Very freak, 100 cases on record and only one other from a cricket ball. Here's hoping regardless of logic, Abbot can emotionally pull through and get on with his career, I'm sure that's what Hughesy would want.

Thank god a sensible post , that is exactly what Phil Hughes would want , I haven't heard how Phil Hughes family are feeling towards Sean Abbott , but I hope it without animosity or blame .

Do we have an annual thread for Rant of the Year? That one from Commodore Countdown or Count up or whatever wins my nomination.

For those who are interested in why Phil Hughes death resonated so much with a vast majority of Australians and indeed, a large portion of the sporting world, read this:

Phil Hughes funeral: A celebration of a wonderful life

Here is an excerpt:

713053-08415fa4-7aac-11e4-98b0-29194a96f3cc.jpg


And then the procession. Wow.

o see that wave, that amazing vast street-wide wave of humanity surging through the streets of Macksville afterwards was incredible. Just incredible.

It was incredible to see the townspeople applauding, none of them with eyes for Warney or Lara or McGrath or any of the cricket royalty striding their streets, but with eyes only for the Hughes clan, the family that has given them so much joy and put their town on the map.

We haven’t seen anything like this in Australian civilian life for decades and perhaps we never will again.

Why? Because Phillip Hughes represented something universal in Australian life. It wasn’t just that he died playing the national sport that we’ve all played at one time or another, even if only on the beach or in the backyard.

It’s the spirit of hope that Hughes had around him, the aura or optimism, the spirit of never whingeing. A little bit of larrikin, a lot of love for mum and dad and above all, a boundless sense of mateship.

Phillip Hughes really was everyone’s mate. He had no enemies. Was incapable of making them.

That’s why Australia stopped today, and why this event moved so many people. And that’s why the people of Macksville and visitors to town will be drinking in both mourning and celebration long, long onto this night and for a long, long time to come.
