RIP #PhillipHughes SEND YOUR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT TO PHIL HUGHES HEARTS OPEN FOR PHILLIP WE love you. That was the moving tribute from Australian captain Michael Clarke to his dear friend Phillip Hughes, which said it all. Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland declared that the game would wrap its collective arms around Hughess devastated family. And it did. Within minutes of Hughess tragic passing being confirmed at 3.40pm, players began to arrive at the Sydney Cricket Ground for an emotional wake and remembrance of Australias 408th Test cricketer. Clarke, David Warner, Sean Abbott, Darren Lehmann and dozens more past and present players from all over the country made the bleakest of walks into a venue that has been the home of so many cricket memories. The skies were dark, the air cold and rain began to fall. Out the front of the SCG, an electronic screen still advertised the NSW versus South Australia Sheffield Shield match that should have still been taking place inside. It was a fitting tribute to a favourite son of Australian cricket who will forever remain 63 not out. Instead of hosting men dressed in white playing the game they love, the SCG dressing rooms were filled with members of a desperate, mourning but united family. Cricket is a tight-knit game and never was that clearer than yesterday. An Indian tour match was postponed, a Test match in the UAE suspended and a round of grade cricket called off. Next weeks Test match will almost certainly go ahead, but its too early to think about that now. Clarke has shown enormous leadership and maturity in the most trying of circumstances, and for that he was specially commended by Australian team doctor Peter Brukner, another stoic figure in recent days. Phil has always been like a little brother to Michael, Brukner said. The family are obviously going through a difficult time and Im not sure they would have coped without Michaels assistance. I was just enormously impressed with the genuine care and love that he gave to the Hughes family and I think he deserves enormous credit. Mourners spent time out on the SCG turf. Long after others had ventured back to the rooms, Clarke cut a solitary figure out in the middle. Its impossible to imagine the grief. Hughess parents Virginia and Greg and siblings Megan and Jason were at the hospital when the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support was made. He had never regained consciousness since Tuesday when he suffered the freak injury confirmed by Dr Brukner as one of only a hundred-odd reported cases. Hughess debut and farewell first class matches were both held at the SCG. In between he made 26 firstclass hundreds and played 26 Tests before he had even reached his 26th birthday. That milestone was to happen on Sunday, the same day he likely would have celebrated rejoining the Test fold in Brisbane. Never has a cricket match mattered less. This is an unspeakably sad day, NSW chief executive Andrew Jones said. Hughes was being remembered for his genuine personality, deter mined work ethic and a cheeky smile. But it was impossible to do that with dry eyes. Warner, who like Clarke has barely left Hughess side these past two days, was among the first to return to the SCG after the death was confirmed. Abbott, the talented and much-loved all-rounder who struck Hughes with that fateful bouncer, walked into the SCG precinct to join his brothers. He was to be welcomed with open arms. This was no ones fault. Flags flew at half-mast. Its difficult to imagine cricket being the same ever again.

Fathers quiet encouragement and pride AS his famous son breathed his last, Greg Hughes occupied an all-toofamiliar space, albeit this time under harrowing circumstances. He was by his sons side. Once again. Such has been the affectionate posture that has marked their relationship; a position that a humble and proud father has occupied with almost religious repetition since his Phillip burst into the world 26 years ago this Sunday. From birth, to his untimely death. Always there. Always present. Always at his side; throughout his cherished country town upbringing, and increasingly so during his tumultuous journey in, out and on the cusp of the Australian Test team. Never in front loudly peddling his sons obvious talents, nor pushing ferociously from behind as many dads would if they boasted such an emerging prodigy. But beside. And he was there amid the quickly quietening Wanderers stands in Johannesburg as his boy became a man.
