[Ashton Agar]

This is terrible. He is my favourite player in all sports. Pull through Phil, please.....

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Was at the ground, unfortunately an awful end.

is there any footage?

Doubt anybody will post it before they know he's ok

 

[ManWithNoName]

is there any footage?

On my phone so can't post it but Tom Steinfort just tweeted a Vine of it. He just stands there then collapses head first.

 

[lionbear]

I feel sick reading this.

I just hope he is not going to suffer long term and that they are doing everything possible as we speak.

 

[Team DJ]

Horrid news. Was a big shot of returning next week too.

Fingers crossed for his recovery.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Get well soon Phil.

 

[sherb]

Was at the ground, unfortunately an awful end. However that was a shocking way to play a short ball

I think that is the least important issue at present.

 

[earlsta]

Damn, shocking. Hopefully he pulls through.

Play has officially been abandoned.

 

[The_Reaper]

I'm no expert but I think we can take the fact that the helicopter was there but wasn't needed as a good thing?

 

[Chaisa]

Looks like Sean Abbott's been spending too much time with Watson.....

Nah seriously, shocking news. Hope all is well for him.

The shield match has been abandoned. Phil's condition improved before he was taken away in an ambulance

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I think that is the least important issue at present.

Not saying for one second that I don't wish him the best in his recovery.

 

[The Passenger]

I'm no expert but I think we can take the fact that the helicopter was there but wasn't needed as a good thing?

Yeah that seems like it would have to be a positive. Hoping like hell it is anyway.

 

[The_Reaper]

Maybe so but lets not pretend he played a military medium short ball
Well. Long term he needs to work on this. Not saying for one second that I don't wish him the best in his recovery.

Leave it to a different thread

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I'm no expert but I think we can take the fact that the helicopter was there but wasn't needed as a good thing?

We can now I think... but at the time my mind was going to a worse possibility.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Pull through Phil, please. I will struggle to watch cricket for a while If you don't.

I'm heaps invested I'm this bloke. Probably more so that any cricketer ever. I'll be heartbroken

probably not the time or place.

my irrational fear of walking past cricket nets when people are batting in them > re-justified

my parents went to school with a kid who got hit in the head while batting on the school oval and passed away from the incident... I guess that story has always stuck with me

 

[larrikin]

Holy shit - you don't expect this in the day and age of helmets
