    Cricketer Phillip Hughes

    Phillip Hughes is in hospital fighting for his life. What a tragic thing to happen.

    He was hit with a head high ball whilst wearing a helmet.

    This is a one in a million freak accident. He is having neurosurgery as I type this. I feel that the end result of this is not going to be good, but I really hope I am wrong.

    My thoughts are with his family, some of who were at the game watching.

    Helmets were introduced for safety and you would never expect anything like this.

    Many a batsmen has copped a nasty ball since helmets were introduced and in most cases can play on, after getting a replacement.

    I might be wrong but I don't recall anything this bad, with or with out a helmet.

    Looks to me he was hit just under helmet ar back , possibly on neck,

    This was a mistimed hook shot so not really on the bowler.

    CPR on the boundry, not even making the rooms, is obviously a very serious situation

    Thouhts and prayers with his family
