Phil Hughes always looked at to be the next in line when we lost Clarke and Hussey to retirement. Hughes and Khawaja were the obvious names for our future batting lineup. Steve Smith went way beyond any early expectations we had for him but at a minimum Phil Hughes would have been at Khawaja level in the test side by now probably even better and possibly joining Smith as the core of our batting. He had so much natural ability that once he fixed the slight holes in his technique that Jimmy Anderson used to expose I had no doubt Hughes would have had multiple years averaging 40-50 in test cricket.

Hughes had more first class centuries to his name than all the major young Aussie batsmen combined at that time, you are not doing him any justice by saying he would have been a Khawaja level player, he had potential to out do Smith in pretty much all the three formats.

I get what you're saying, but I suppose that is the point: cricket hasn't changed at all. It'll take something like this happening again for people to call the status quo into question. Most likely it'll never come to that, because cricket isn't about to have an epidemic of life-threatening or -altering injuries or long-term effects like American football or boxing. So for the most part nothing terrible will happen, but eventually a freak thing like this will happen again.

@@glebkachur8033 The one thing that's changed is that the neck protectors were introduced, and even that wasn't made mandatory until after Steve Smith refused to wear one and got beaned by Archer. I am not aware of any major structural CHANGE in cricket following the Hughes incident--which, as OP and the title of the video point out, is what we're discussing.

The big legacy of Hughes's death is helmets now come with 'stem guards' to protect that vulnerable part of the neck. My suspicion is that they actually restrict head movement. In any case batting helmets have meant that batsmen don't step to the off side ('getting inside the line of the ball') while playing short balls any more, which means that the ball misses them if they miss the shot.

True when i was coached in cricket i was taught to get inside the line of the ball, so if you missed it you would cut down the risk of being hit, today you see batsmen standing still trying to play hook shots, believing the helmet will save them, when a hard object travelling at 85-90+ i.e a cricket ball, the helmet jolts against the batsmen' head.

As sad as it was, and as effected personally the people who know him and his team mates were. As soon as Mitchel Johnson started bowling short at India in that very next series, the game, on the field had moved on. And I was relieved.
That innings of 63 has still not ended 😭😭😭 will love you forever Philip👍
Saddest moment in cricket history !!
As an Englishman , I would say nz have the best attitude and respect
I was 14 years old and was getting ready for school when I heard this news! I was crying! Coming from India we always have had exposure to cricketers from a young age and I knew him from the Test series in India. When ever I come across the name I shot of get goosebumps. I had never gone through the the videos again. It short of killed me. Even today when I think of bowling a bouncer on top of my mark, I pray that's not going to happen again.

Such a shame. They say that the good ones always go too soon. I remember seeing Alex Tudor getting hit by Brett Lee in an ashes test in the 2002/03 series and the way he went down, I thought it might have happened there. Thankfully it didn’t. Horrible, horrible accident. Always 63 not out, always 25 years old. 😢😢
RIP gorgeous boy..you will never be forgotten Philip
Such a tragic event, and he was just reaching his prime as a cricketer really. I remember being quite tearful when I heard the news, and I'm not really one of those to show their emotions easily. But it was such a tragedy for his family, his team mates, and the world of cricket. So so sad. RIP Hughsie.
It was one of those when you saw it you knew straight away. It was strange to watch and just have that feeling of knowing how serious it was.

Watching this a few days after Cheteshwar Pujara stood like a rock at the Gabba letting ball after ball hit him, and building the foundation for the Indian victory (19Jan2021). One wonders and wishes that while Hughes’ was a tragedy that should never have happened, hopefully it never repeats. Good man Hughes!

Who were here today on his death anniversary such a upcoming legend gone soon AMEN 🙏
The starting quote from miachel clarke is very touching I also lost a friend after his death for many days I use to call him realising he is no more many time when I heara knock on my door I think the he is on the other side
i remember being young an of course looking up to player i saw hughes using the same branded bat kookaburra kauna and love his style of batting so i be came my favourite at the time then hearing the news broke me especially at 12 looking up to my countries stars sad to see a batsmen like him with future head of him cut short RIP 63*
What upsets me is this legend could have been out there with Steve Smith or Warner smashing boundaries and getting centuries. Such a tragic loss and had so much potential. 😭😭😭
By far the saddest thing to happen to Cricket! R.I.P Phillip Hughes
I was like stunned, shocked and teary. Put your bat out went viral around the world at the time. Since that moment, i realize cricket is a dangerous game of sport now and i was scared each time when someone does a bouncer. When Johnson did the bouncer to Kohli, I was actually scared when it nearly happened but good thing virat was ok. Hughes had so much potential to be in the world cup squad and the test side and i wish he played more for Australia back then 😢
This really did change cricket....
the death of Phil Hughes made a big impact and also remember playing against Phil Hughes in the uk and with Middlesex reserves in 2009 pre ashes
Always be remembered

Many times we forget the meaning of sports. Sports is a part of our life. In one or other way we love to play at home, school, street, ground, etc. And it is a fun. We human being all love to have fun. What happened with the sports is due to competition, it became revenge. Every one wanted to defeat others. Lot of times players themselves fight. Started to hate each other. Coming to cricket, lots of bouncers are bowled; bowlers started to attack batsman's body rather than concentrating on taking wickets. And the results are we are loosing good persons like Phil Hughes. We all know only Phil because he was an international player. But there are more people died due to this kind of bad play. One of my neighbor's son passed away at the age of 13 because the ball hit his head. His parents lost his dear son. It was very hard time for them. Recently Steve Smith was also suffered similar bouncer as Phil Hughes. Thank God that he recovered. In conclusion, I think for safety reasons, bouncer should be banned. As I said sports should bring fun and entertainment but if it takes away a person's life then it is not sports. Life is more precious than sports. Play safely.
A total heartbreak for cricket
How can people dislike this.......

Phil Hughes' tragic death brings to light, how lucky was Nari Contarctor, the Indian captain who was hit on his head by a bouncer. Here's an extract from Wikipedia. Contractor led India to a series win against England in 1961-62 and captained the side to Caribbean the same season. After two Tests, Indian team traveled to Barbados. There, in a tour match against Barbados at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, in March 1962, he was on 2 not out while opening the batting with Dilip Sardesai during his side's first innings, when his attention was for a moment distracted as he faced Charlie Griffith in the fourth ball of the second over. He saw somebody open a window in the pavilion, and consequently was unable to concentrate on the ball following its delivery by Griffith, seeing the ball "just inches away before it hit" him. Contractor took a blow at the back of his skull fracturing it. A blood clot had developed inside his skull and pressing against the brain paralyzing him from the waist down. Two surgeries were performed to remove the clot. Requiring blood transfusion for the purpose, the West Indies captain Frank Worrell donated blood,[5] alongside Contractor's teammates Chandu Borde, Bapu Nadkarni and Polly Umrigar. Contractor's life was saved but his international career was abruptly ended as a result. Mansoor Ali Khan of Pataudi took over the captaincy from the third test. In a recent interview, Contractor mentioned as his only regret that he wanted play just one Test after the injury, but people did not want him to. At the time Contractor was seriously injured, cricket batsmen did not wear helmets. They do now.
I do love cricket but sorry for this young men
Imagine facing the WI pacers without the head-gear , Gavaskar scoring close to 800 runs in one series against the most lethal attack ever known , in their home turf , those great batsmen wielded a bat & played the greatest knocks the world has ever seen , in fact they would hav refused to wear one , such was the belief in their foot work or reflex's , the bowler had the ball the batsman the bat , fair enough , freak accidents do happen & its sad , there r no guarantees in life , the game is pro batsmen , the bowler is same old , same old , more restrictions , less incentives to be one .
RIP the greatest of all
To this day very sad 😢😢😢
I remember even the Indian media started having conversations on whether the Bouncer should be outlawed, that was obviously a wrong approach to the tragic incident. Hopefully they keep working on improving & making better protective gears coz all you need is one more tragedy for the latest protective gears to be considered inadequate.
I can relate to miachel Clarke comment as I have also lost my friend
