Remembering Phil Hughes – a year after the tragedy Friday Nov 27,2015
On the first anniversary of the tragic death of Australian batsman
Phillip Hughes, questions are being asked about safety — and the new
pink ball being used at this week's historic day-night Test.
Phillip Hughes,
who played 26 Tests, died from bleeding on the brain on November 27,2014 after being hit on the base of the skull by a rising ball at
the Sydney Cricket Ground during a domestic match.
His death — a freak accident — stunned Australia and the world cricket community, sparking an outpouring of grief.
While
Cricket Australia immediately boosted the medical presence at grounds
and now requires all players to wear a helmet that meets stringent
safety standards, Hughes' long-time coach and mentor Neil D'Costa said
he was still not convinced it was enough
