Hughes’ death stuns cricket world

The cricket world is in shock today following the death of Phillip Hughes, at the age of 25.

The Australian died two days after being struck on the head by a bouncer while batting for South Australia against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Hughes, who was wearing a protective helmet, was hit by a ball on the lower left side of the back of his head from pace bowler Sean Abbott as he attempted a pull shot.
