Oh no this is terrible news. His mom and sis were in the stadium.

Just saw the clip. It seems like the ball brushed pass his neck ( jugular?) at speed. This could be fatal -God forbid.

May Allah grant Phil a speedy and full recovery...aameen!!!

I wonder if we have qualified and competent medics and equipments at our domestic matches!

The other day when Shakib was searching for his 5th wicket and we had men around the bat in the ODI game, the batsman crashed three consecutive boundaries and all were dangerously close to the fielders. It was scary to watch. We need helmets and protective gear of the highest quality for our own players especially in Australia.

I am sure Phil wasn't using a helmet made in Jinjira. There will always be danger attached with sports, especially, cricket. One simply cannot protect all the areas. That's where courage and skills come in. Just imagine Sir Viv taking on Lillie, Thompson, Imran and some of his famous countrymen without a helmet and no quotas on the chin music per over, either!

Hope he recovers soon

I have been closely following news associated with this

I really want to hear good news soon enough.

very sad sad news. I hope he recovers soon. The ball hit him and he stood motionless for few seconds and then fell face down on to the pitch and there was blood. The game was abandoned and he was taken to hospital on life support.

reminds me of Raman Lamba-Opi incident.

Really sad by the news. Hughes is one of my favorite players of the Aussie team. Hope he turns out okay. Praying for him

may Allah help him recover.
it's terrible, I wonder if helmets can be more protective than this.

I also had the sickening feeling before I was able to bring myself to watch the clip. Perhaps, you're doing the right thing by not watching it -even though it doesn't look like the worse video one will ever watch.

The ball actually didn't hit the helmet -what I saw- as Phil was trying to hook the bouncer and missed it and got hit on his neck area as he pivoted for the hook/pull. It looked like just any other day when a batter got hit by a bouncer. Initially, he remained on his feet, after a minute somewhat crouched and collapsed and fell right on his face. Which, in itself, must have been yet another major blow to his head.

Once again, my prayers are with Phil and his family. May Allah grant him a complete recovery!

Lamba wasn't wearing a helmet -fielding at SILLY point!

Induced comma. Still critical condition. The first blow was right below the helmet on the back and left side of the head by the ball. The second blow was head first hitting the ground when he collapsed. Prayers are the most important remedy now. The Doctor's have done what they could do.

very shocking to hear that at first. hope Phil Hughes a speedy recovery. Prays and thoughts are with the lad.

Faisal · #17 November 26, 2014, 11:58 PM

he passed away just few minutes ago. RIP

Roni_uk · #18 November 27, 2014, 12:00 AM

RIP

I just cannot believe it!

Faisal · #19 November 27, 2014, 12:02 AM

Very sad news

al Furqaan · #20 November 27, 2014, 12:04 AM

I feel worse than when Rana died. Car accidents happen...but to die on the pitch is so rare and gruesome it is very tough. I almost cried.

Spare a thought for Abbot who has to live with this the rest of his life.

Nocturnal · #21 November 27, 2014, 12:21 AM

Sad, really sad. Feel like crying

This is truly sad. My heart goes out to his family.

I have been feeling the goosebumps throughout, for a while after hearing this...
RIP

Very sad news, he was Shakib's captain for the Adelaide strikers.
