Tragedy to Triumph:Sean Abbott takes 6 wickets for just 9 Runs

 

Sean Abbott has emerged from the darkest two weeks of his life to power NSW to a dramatic Sheffield Shield victory over Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

 

Sean Abbott tore through the Queensland batting order to claim 6-14 and dismiss the Bulls for 99 in pursuit of 179 in the second session on the final day of the clash.

Sean Abbott endured the toughest of preparations as he dealt with the death of Phillip Hughes but he showed incredible mental resolve to destroy the Bulls in a seven-over spell that included three maidens.

Sean Abbott's performance drew a standing ovation from the crowd in the Member's Stand as he left the ground. 

Australian batsman David Warner clapped his bat in his hand on the pitch upon seeing the result on the screen during the Test against India at Adelaide Oval.
