A terrible tragedy and to be taken so young is difficult to understand.

I feel deep sympathy for his family and teammates.

RIP Phillip

    In my 71 years I cannot remember a passing of a sportsman that has brought a similar response from all over the globe.

    Astonishing.

    Sadly watched enzed completely dominate the pakis last night.

    they are building a team very well,although hard to judge when other countries are so weak.

    They certainly showed how to bat on flat AI type wickets.

    Brendon McCullum made this statement, earlier today:

    "On behalf of the BLACKCAPS I want to make the following statement. Our focus at the moment is not on our performances, it is all about Phil. We are heartbroken for Phil's family, Greg, Virginia, Megan and Jason. No one should go through what you guys are going through right now. We are reaching out to Phil's family, Michael Clarke and the Australian boys, medical staff, fans, all who have been affected by Phil's passing. We are also reaching out to Sean Abbott. You are all in our thoughts, our hearts and in Phil's case, our memories. Cricket is a sport, but the cricket community is a family. We are here for you, we are thinking ofyou."

    I have nothing to add.

    Last night,the kiwis refused to place a fielder in short even wearing a helmut.The commentator said BMc was quoted as saying they would rather lose the test than put a fielder under that pressure.

    It will be very interesting to see how the Adelaide Test plays out when it begins on Tuesday, and the manner in which it's played. Will be working so won't get to catch a big deal of it apart from the final day.

    Cricket Australia, the BCCI and all the venues and partners deserve a lot of credit for the way they've handled everything during a difficult time.

    Some low life listed the order of service booklet from Phillip Hughes' funeral on eBay before the proceedings had even finished.

    Fortunately eBay had the decency to remove the listing.

    Disgusting.

    The team for the first test in Adelaide - 1 Chris Rogers, 2 David Warner, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Steven Smith, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Ryan Harris, 10 Peter Siddle, 11 Nathan Lyon.

    Hazlewood unlucky whilst Lyon needs to show something on a track that should suit, his form has been horrible.

    How's that b grade park cricketer of a captain of ours going?

    3 centuries, a wonderful tribute to the memory of PH.

    A number of critics of MC are no doubt reconsidering given the way the Captain has performed in the past couple of weeks.

    not reconsidering, but respecting a fine effort. and leadership from the front. he has to show this 'L' every test.

    Gee, lyon desperately needs a short leg and a captain that can set him one.Might get another 100 wickets.

    I do miss the easy catches that doolan dropped when there.

    Might help if he could bowl a consistent smart line. But I guess that's the captains fault.....

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
