Breaking news on the radio that Aussie batsman Phil Hughes is undergoing emergency surgery after being struck on the head by the ball in a domestic match at the SCG. He was wearing a helmet but collapsed after being hit and received CPR on the pitch for 30 minutes before being taken to hospital. Terrible news and hope he pulls through.

Agreed. I have just seen this on the news. Hopefully he will pull threw and that it won't spell the end of short pitched bowling.

The concern about short pitch bowling possibly being ended is an irrevalence at this time. The concern is that he pulls through.

Australian Phil Hughes remains in a critical condition after being struck on the head by a short-pitched delivery during a first-class domestic match. The 25-year-old batsman is in an induced coma in a Sydney hospital. He underwent scans on Wednesday, but team doctor Peter Brukner said: "Phillip's condition is unchanged and he remains critical." Cricket Australia has also announced that the current round of Sheffield Shield matches has been abandoned. Hughes was carried off on a stretcher after a delivery from New South Wales bowler Sean Abbott struck him on the head, missing his helmet. The South Australia left-hander also needed CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation before he was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma and had a 90-minute operation to relieve pressure on his brain. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/30203963

Best wishes to Phil Hughes but imagine how much worse it could have been if he wasn't wearing the helmet.

Best wishes to Phil Hughes but imagine how much worse it could have been if he wasn't wearing the helmet. It has been suggested the design of the helmet may have killed him because the section behind the ear had been changed And did not Give full protection but there was a grilled edge and that is where part of the ball hit him! It is possible he may have survived without a helmet but we will never know. A freak accident!
