Absolutely devastating!
I work with Phil's cousin.

Thought I should move this rather than hijack that other thread.

For other readers, Phil Hughes was a 25 year old cricketer who has represented Australia at that sport and who grew up in my small home town of Macksville.
He was hit on the head by the ball while playing cricket on Tuesday, suffered a fractured skull and died today, 3 days short of his 26th birthday, without regaining consciousness. Very upsetting!

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the link. Phil was surely on the come-back trail. I can't even begin to imagine how devastated Macksville must be.
I can't even begin to imagine how devastated Sean Abbott must be also. An all round tragedy.

Regards,
vcoolio.

Yes, feel very sorry for him too.

Peter,

Tragic on so many levels.
I'm sorry to sat that prior to receiving your link I had not made the sad connection to Macksville.
It's scant comfort for those close to the situation but both young men will have been in many peoples thoughts, world wide, these last few days.
