Are we going to be able to play Hughes beyond this round?


Unfortunately, no. His injury is too severe to not be taken into account in fictional cricket as well. Real life hamstring or muscle pull, no problem. Real life coma, big problem.
 
Sadly, Hughes shall never play cricket ever again. He passed away earlier today. :( [HASHTAG]#RIP[/HASHTAG]

I guess Mitchell Marsh wasn't supposed to play as he was out for national duty.

Anyway, the match didn't go too well for us. We gave Dave just too many runs. Good to see Hodgey amongst the runs though. Hope we can bounce back after this.

Now that's the Maxi I know. What a brilliant knock by Maxi, Ab and Cowan, really their contributions meant a lot in that match and I believe without Amla we couldn't have had any good start. Bowlers were too expensive I shall say, Bollinger taking three wickets proved to be crucial for me. Overall it was a great performance by everyone.

And R.I.P Phillip Hughes. :(
