Very sad day for the Hughes family and Australian cricket. Poor bugger that bowled the ball must be devastated
When it's appropriate to analyse the incident, it's going to be interesting to see what follows... compulsory helmets? Bouncers banned or no balled?
Even though it was an awful & tragic freak accident, it did happen - not to decry Phil Hughes who was a professional and highly takented cricketer, but what if it was someone's kid in a local grade comp? I'm not advocating drastic measures or a nanny attitude, but sport is meant to be fun not lethal.
I suspect a board if inquiry may rule for redesigned mandatory helmets before this is all over.
RIP Phil Hughes, a life well played but far too short
