Rip Phil Hughes

[Renegadesfan]

Awful to see. It happened in a sheffield shield game.
He was batting and sean Abbott was bowling and had bowled a bouncer that had hit hughes in the temple.
Twitter and facebook have gone nuts with the tributes.

Pretty sure I heard it was at the lower left back part of the skull. No harm but think its best we have facts in the OP of serious threads like this one.

Thoughts are with the Hughes family

Everyone on social media is thinking of phil hughes. http://instagram.com/p/v0ReVuyPXK/
This is far from a joke as he is in a life threatening situation.

Thoughts are with him and his family. Recover soon Phil!

Horrible thing to see happen to anyone.

Obviously a pretty rough day for Australian cricket with Hughes' very unfortunate injury. Thoughts are with him and his family and hopefully he can make a speedy recovery.

This has been a **** day. Once I heard it, it just lets the air out of the balloon. Listening on radio in Melbourne, the nature of the presenters changed tack once the news was known. It's actually bothered me more than I thought it would. My thoughts are with him and his family and friends

Yeah hope he recovers soon. This'll probably have ramifications throughout cricket on the H&S front.

As a mark of respect Cricket Australia have allowed this round's Sheffield Shield games to be abandoned due to everyone being worried about Phil Hughe's health.

This is such a sad accident for all. Hughes is getting the support he needs let's not forget Abbott. Don't know how i would feel if i had bowled that ball.

Any news?

Any news?

Nothing has changed as yet with his condition. He's still in an induced coma and is on life support in hospital. There will be news this afternoon about the result of the operation he had two days ago.
