Phil Hughes always looked at to be the next in line when we lost Clarke and Hussey to retirement. Hughes and Khawaja were the obvious names for our future batting lineup. Steve Smith went way beyond any early expectations we had for him but at a minimum Phil Hughes would have been at Khawaja level in the test side by now probably even better and possibly joining Smith as the core of our batting. He had so much natural ability that once he fixed the slight holes in his technique that Jimmy Anderson used to expose I had no doubt Hughes would have had multiple years averaging 40-50 in test cricket.

[@ayaanayubi1117]

@Patriotic Warrior fuck u

[@ritzray6741]

Hughes had more first class centuries to his name than all the major young Aussie batsmen combined at that time, you are not doing him any justice by saying he would have been a Khawaja level player, he had potential to out do Smith in pretty much all the three formats.

Ok but you never touched on how this CHANGED cricket...was expecting how helmets were upgraded with neck protectors etc...RIP PH63*

[@akbarshahzad5780]

I get what you're saying, but I suppose that is the point: cricket hasn't changed at all. It'll take something like this happening again for people to call the status quo into question. Most likely it'll never come to that, because cricket isn't about to have an epidemic of life-threatening or -altering injuries or long-term effects like American football or boxing. So for the most part nothing terrible will happen, but eventually a freak thing like this will happen again.

[@glebkachur8033]

@@akbarshahzad5780 i've got no clue what you're talking about - do you know how much research goes into the pads, helmets and boxes, and everything in between? the ICC aren't stupid no - brains that would ignore this tragic incident

[@akbarshahzad5780]

@@glebkachur8033 The one thing that's changed is that the neck protectors were introduced, and even that wasn't made mandatory until after Steve Smith refused to wear one and got beaned by Archer. I am not aware of any major structural CHANGE in cricket following the Hughes incident--which, as OP and the title of the video point out, is what we're discussing. If you know of such a change, please share.

[@pritpaulsonia6861]

bouncers should be banned !

[@OfficialOffsideBall]

@@pritpaulsonia6861 seriously😑😑

[@alfredjohnson2647]

The big legacy of Hughes's death is helmets now come with 'stem guards' to protect that vulnerable part of the neck. My suspicion is that they actually restrict head movement. In any case batting helmets have meant that batsmen don't step to the off side ('getting inside the line of the ball') while playing short balls any more, which means that the ball misses them if they miss the shot.

[@RP-kr2mg]

Didn't connect it. Always wondered why inside out shots, especially against short ball have become so rare now?

[@rowanwhittingham689]

I bat with one, I just feel more secure... It in no means restricts my movement. I bat at 3 in grade cricket and get my fair share of bouncers.

[@petere115]

True when i was coached in cricket i was taught to get inside the line of the ball, so if you missed it you would cut down the risk of being hit, today you see batsmen standing still trying to play hook shots, believing the helmet will save them, when a hard object travelling at 85-90+ i.e a cricket ball, the helmet jolts against the batsmen' head.

[@floodwaters8887]

Very few players where them now

[@mrkipling2201]

Such a shame. They say that the good ones always go too soon. I remember seeing Alex Tudor getting hit by Brett Lee in an ashes test in the 2002/03 series and the way he went down, I thought it might have happened there. Thankfully it didn’t. Horrible, horrible accident. Always 63 not out, always 25 years old. 😢😢

Many times we forget the meaning of sports. Sports is a part of our life. In one or other way we love to play at home, school, street, ground, etc. And it is a fun. We human being all love to have fun. What happened with the sports is due to competition, it became revenge. Every one wanted to defeat others. Lot of times players themselves fight. Started to hate each other. Coming to cricket, lots of bouncers are bowled; bowlers started to attack batsman's body rather than concentrating on taking wickets. And the results are we are loosing good persons like Phil Hughes. We all know only Phil because he was an international player. But there are more people died due to this kind of bad play. One of my neighbor's son passed away at the age of 13 because the ball hit his head. His parents lost his dear son. It was very hard time for them. Recently Steve Smith was also suffered similar bouncer as Phil Hughes. Thank God that he recovered. In conclusion, I think for safety reasons, bouncer should be banned. As I said sports should bring fun and entertainment but if it takes away a person's life then it is not sports. Life is more precious than sports. Play safely.

Very different circumstances - tragic, but he also did refuse a helmet while fielding at short leg

[@ArchismanMozumder]

Phil Hughes' tragic death brings to light, how lucky was Nari Contarctor, the Indian captain who was hit on his head by a bouncer. Here's an extract from Wikipedia. Contractor led India to a series win against England in 1961-62 and captained the side to Caribbean the same season. After two Tests, Indian team traveled to Barbados. There, in a tour match against Barbados at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, in March 1962, he was on 2 not out while opening the batting with Dilip Sardesai during his side's first innings, when his attention was for a moment distracted as he faced Charlie Griffith in the fourth ball of the second over. He saw somebody open a window in the pavilion, and consequently was unable to concentrate on the ball following its delivery by Griffith, seeing the ball "just inches away before it hit" him. Contractor took a blow at the back of his skull fracturing it. A blood clot had developed inside his skull and pressing against the brain paralyzing him from the waist down. Two surgeries were performed to remove the clot. Requiring blood transfusion for the purpose, the West Indies captain Frank Worrell donated blood,[5] alongside Contractor's teammates Chandu Borde, Bapu Nadkarni and Polly Umrigar. Contractor's life was saved but his international career was abruptly ended as a result. Mansoor Ali Khan of Pataudi took over the captaincy from the third test. In a recent interview, Contractor mentioned as his only regret that he wanted play just one Test after the injury, but people did not want him to. At the time Contractor was seriously injured, cricket batsmen did not wear helmets. They do now.

The ICC has made new laws about safety and even countries governments have made laws saying that everyone has to wear a helmet no matter what.
