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.

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.
