So terrible, I never expected it to end in his passing. Playing a game of cricket, about 48 hours later he's gone.

It's unbelievable

RIP Phillip and I hope his family has plenty of support after this tragedy.

I feel like Phil Hughes wouldn't hold any grudges towards Abbott

It's now crucial the cricket community supports Abbott which in itself will be a way to honour Hughes

Spot on mate. Was out there doing what a million cricketers around the world have done without incident.

I for one hope he doesn't walk away from the game. Phil himself wouldn't want that. Australian cricket can't afford that.

Just stunned.

How do you come back from that if you are Abbott. Devastating

Exactly, no amount of world class counselling would ever make me bowl a ball in anger again if it were me.

I doubt that it's possible.

I vomited in the bathroom at work.

Life is cruel

Agree, he shouldn't be pressured in to playing again, he needs time and whatever decision he makes is the right one

I'm holding my shit together until I get out of here, I've got two children aged 11 & 9 who love their cricket that I'll have to counsel shortly.

Shit I hadn't thought about that, my 11 will be devastated. Phil IS his favourite redbacks player after signing his cap at a Shield game last year.

R.I.P. Phillip Hughes. A gentleman of the game has passed away and is now joining all of the past greats in heaven. What a wonderful bloke and a sensational cricketer. Our best wishes to his family and to his friends. Also my thoughts go out to Sean Abbott. Hang in there mate. Get around each other through this very sad time in cricket history.

Hopefully AA cans its booked Strikers advertisements for today.

australia may have lost 2 up and coming stars. Couldn't pick another cricket ball up if I was Sean Abbott.

Just makes you think of how he would have been no different to so many of us. You walk onto a cricket field to do something that you love. You never contemplate not walking off again

Really nice statement from the Hughes family

Must have been real tough for Clarke and much respect for him reading the statement on behalf of the Hughes family

Since becoming Australian Captain Michael Clarke has consistently impressed and astounded in terms of his maturity, responsibility and leadership. Legend.

Top marks to pup. No idea how he kept it together.

I agree and the worst part is, all the times I played the hook shot with no helmet. All the times I was put at silly mid on with no helmet. ****!

63* not out forever, the same empty feeling as when Hookesy passed away, RIP..
