Phillip Hughes: A Year On From His Death. by peterd53(m): 6:37am On Nov 27, 2015 |
Phillip Hughes hoped that South Australia’s
first-class match with New South Wales on
25 November last year would help him earn a
recall to the Australian Test side. “He was
making a statement,” David Warner recounts
in the batsman’s official biography. “He was
going to go big. He was sick the night before,
he was sick that morning, but he had to play
because there was a Test around the
corner.”
Though not at his fluent best as the New
South Wales attack tested him with the short
ball, Hughes passed 50 and had designs on
recording his 27th first-class hundred in the
week of his 26th birthday. On 63, he received
a bouncer, which he shaped to hook, but
Hughes was too early on the ball and it
struck him on the back of the neck. Hughes
staggered for a few seconds and then
collapsed. He would never regain
consciousness and, two days later, was
pronounced dead. R.I.P 1 Share
