David Hookes
The tragic death of David Hookes, in such violent circumstances, will sadden not only cricket fans but all Australians.
He was an exciting and accomplished test cricketer, a talented broadcaster and an immensely likeable person.
His ability and enthusiasm gave inspiration and encouragement to many young cricketers.
To his wife and family I extend my deepest sympathy. There are many of their fellow Australians who will be thinking of them tonight.
