I was literally shaking when I saw the headline on BBC Sport this morning, a sad day for cricket.

Was absolutely gutted when I heard the news, just absolutely shattering to hear.

Will never forget running into Hughes at an airport a couple of years ago when he was on his way to play with the Redbacks, could not have been a more courteous bloke.

RIP Phil.

If Phil was, alive. Than it would've been his birthday after 3 days....

I am devastated upon learning of the untimely demise of the wonderfully talented young cricketer, Phil Hughes. May his soul rest in peace. My heart goes out to his family and Sean Abbott.....

Horrible horrible horrible. His poor family. Poor Sean Abbott. Just awful. RIP

 

[T.J.Hooker]

Unbelievably tragic.

It also really underlines what a truly stupid stunt Channel 9 put on with Brett Lee / Piers Morgan.

A real shock to cricket and all its supporters. Absolutely tragic accident to happen to anyone and my heart goes out to Philip's friends and family.

Felt a bit numb when I woke up and read the news. Just...tragic.
