Phillip Hughes

Phillip Hughes was a young man living out his dreams.

His death is a very sad day for cricket and a heartbreaking day for his family.

What happened has touched millions of Australians.

For a young life to be cut short playing our national game seems a shocking aberration.

He was loved, admired and respected by his teammates and by legions of cricket fans.

Australians’ thoughts and prayers are with the Hughes family.
