RIP Phillip Hughes

The North-East Mid-Week Cricket League would like to add to the global sympathy for the family, friends and fellow players of Phillip Hughes which all cricket is expressing.

We are a grass roots league, mere minnows compared with the Australian Test squad, but this disaster has struck at all levels of the sport. Indeed it has surely raised awareness of the fragile nature of life in general.

Perhaps this freak and tragic accident will put into perspective all minor issues on the field and at least help to promote a higher standard of respect for all other players in the intended true spirit of the game.
