Truly awful news ,condolences to his family and friends .
RIP .


Regardless of colour or creed, most unwelcome outcome at any cricket field on the planet .

Totally agree; dreadful.

And, as others have said, spare a thought for poor Sean Abbott. What must he and his be going through, too!

#PutOutYourBats is a nice touch and going viral on Facebook/Twitter.

My point (genuinely felt, although it may sound trite) was that DW, as a person, is not someone I warm to, especially his comments about Trott and the team during the Ashes but such a tragedy puts these petty concerns into perspective.

Not at all - I hadn't seen the hospital pictures before I asked but having now seen those and others from the incident I see what you mean, Warner and Hughes must have been very close.

Tragic tragic loss.  As I saw Bumble post on Twitter, whenever we see 63 on a scoreboard again we'll always think of Phil Hughes - a British round of applause at the FCG would be most humbling when this happens in 2015.

I agree that the 'bats out' concept is a most welcome virus.
