"It is my sad duty to inform you that a
short time ago Phillip Hughes passed
away," Brukner said. "He never
regained consciousness following his
injury on Tuesday. He was not in pain
before he passed and was surrounded by
his family and close friends.
On Tuesday, Hughes was playing against
his former state when he missed his
attempted hook and the ball struck him
below the helmet, causing a cerebral
haemorrhage. He underwent surgery on
Tuesday after being rushed to hospital
from the SCG, and was then in an
induced coma.
Hughes played 26 Tests for Australia
and scored three centuries,
