You (moose07) probably know, seeing you’ve posted, but for anybody else who reads this, this is an absolutely huge story in Australia - and will be pretty big throughout the major Cricketing nations (which is a lot of the Commonwealth).

Good grief, how many great and small folks died, on the same day? The silly crap just continues, no matter the inanity. The ball worshipping morons abound, no matter of reality. You fellas, are well done out.. Regardless- Happy Thanksgiving

The cricket ball is much harder than a baseball ball. It is hardest when new, then gets a bit softer with use and hit a few times.
RIP Aussie batsman.

I almost thought the cricket balls were a really solid hardwood ball, the way they look.

Nah, those balls are only a bit softer, than the punts getting close to the raging speed of waffle ball.

RIP, Philip Hughes.

So very sad. The cricketing world is hurting at the moment. It seems to have been a freak and very tragic accident.
As well as with the family and friends of Phillip Hughes, a thought must also be spared for the bowler, Sean Abbott, who must be experiencing his own personal Hell at the moment.
A terrible, terrible, loss.

Sounds like it burst his carotid artery. At least it was quick and likely pretty painless. RIP, Mr Hughes. You were way too young to go.

Reminds me of Ray Chapman, a Cleveland Indians shortstop killed by a pitch thrown by Yankees pitcher Carl Mays during a game at the Polo Grounds in 1920.
