Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 25, 2014 He is still in a coma. It is headline news down here since he was in contention to replace Michael Clarke before the accident happened. He genuinely might not make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 26, 2014 Jim Maxwell is saying it is "one of the worst injuries cricket has ever seen" as Hughes remains in a coma, condition unchanged: http://www.abc.net.a...maxwell/5918288 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 26, 2014 If Michael Schumacher deserves his own thread for his brain injury, Phillip Hughes should have one as well. Kindly mods, can you please pull over the posts about him from the cricket thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,651 Posted November 26, 2014 Another brain-injured death tease... Yeah, if they can't return to their respective sports I'm seeing a boy band that'd soak up the sympathy vote on The X Factor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 27, 2014 Dead: http://www.abc.net.a...es-dead/5919204 Given he died from a hit to the head, I have to wonder if the journalist who wrote that report is a closet DeathLister, as it contains lines like "He just seems to have a really good head about his shoulders" and the unbelievable "Hughes never dropped his head as he fought back to the top." If he had dropped his head, he'd still be with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted November 27, 2014 Blimey, I don't even like cricket, almost as dull as golf, and I'd never heard of this chap but this has had me pretty choked up this morning for some reason, a total split second freak injury. Just goes to show you never know what's around the corner for you. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted November 27, 2014 This is crazy. Poor guy, RIP. Had a bad feeling he wasn't gonna make it though. Some of the crass comments in this thread look a bit stupid now.........

It appears the news that Russia are no longer the good guys has been completely missed by the people at wsws, if I read their article on some Russian sabre rattling. regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
