RIP Phillip Hughes and Happy 26th Birthday. I didn't know you personally but I knew you were amazing on the field and seeing the detestation your passing has caused has shown that you were both an inspiration on and off the field. It is shocking to think that you went out to bat doing one of the things you loved best, thinking that you would be able to come back and celebrate your birthday soon, celebrate getting back into the test squad but you never came back. You were never able to celebrate one more Christmas and it devastates me and thousand others because you were taken too early, too shockingly, too quickly when you had so much life left. So RIP Phil Hughes, because you will live on forever as 63 not out in the memories and spirit of the game. And to Sean Abbott I truly help that one day he will be able to realise that none of this is his fault and it is just a cruel twist of life. Happy Birthday Phillip Joel Hughes, may you continue your innings wherever you are xxx

If you’re feeling upset, or pissed off at the current ugliness in the world atm, I have a quick solution.

Search the tag #putyourbatsout or #63not out.

An Australian cricketer, Phil Hughes, was hit in the head with a ball and later died in hospital in a freak accident. He was a great man, and only 25yrs old.

All over Australia, and even the world, people are putting their bats and baggy hats at their front door and fences in honour of Hughes. Many are also putting out balls in honour of the bowler who bowled the deadly ball, who was only 22 and in desperate need of support.

Junior cricket games today held 63 seconds of silence and wore black arm bands. I even saw Facebook picture of people placing hockey sticks & baseball bats, as they didn’t have cricket bats.

It is amazing to see a whole country in mourning for one of its stars and role models, and supporting the cricket family. This sport is a national pastime, whether you you play backyard or street cricket, for your local club, at a state or national level, or even if you sit and watch.

The world may be having some terrible things happening at the moment, and this young mans death was a tragedy.

But seeing the response makes me a proud Australian. Even if I’m too unco to play cricket well.
