A modest proposal: replace Hughes with Dave Warner.
You'll get the same average but it'll be even more entertaining!

actually he's in better form than the entire aussie top 4 combined, and world sport needs more fat ppl, so yeah get him in
anyway I'm cool with the Perth result - sets up a better series innit. and I said this beforehand.
oh yeah if Australia drop Ponting and Clarke and Hughes and pick a couple of in-form batsmen instead, England are fucked. I suggest Baby Boof, Nathan Hauritz and that 19 year-old NSW chap

yeah sucks, hit on the helmet apparently, not through the grill or anything...

Base of the skull, by far the worst place to be hit by a cricket ball at 140 kph...
Hoping for the best for Phil.
― AB de Villiers Terrace (King Boy Pato), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link
apparently he was too early on it, turned his head away
there's probably a case for lower head/neck protection. this sort of incident is so rare tho
hope he gets thru and back playing

horrible for everyone concerned, Sean Abbott must be beside himself and I hope he's looked after.
RIP

Shattering, absolutely shattering. He was going to be back in the Test team with that Shield form and now he's suddenly gone. From his family, from everyone. RIP Phillip.
Hope that Sean Abbott stays strong, I'm sure he'll have the support that he'll sorely need.
