The game's been abandoned. Not just the day.

Bloody oath. For all the (99% staged) aggression that you love to see from a fast bowler, I doubt any of them actually want to cause any life threatening damage. Would be a shocking feeling as the bowler.

Ewen Chatfield was struck by Peter Lever at Wellington (?) in 1975 and would have died if not for the England physio, Bernard Thomas, performing CPR on him.
Let's just hope that Phil is okay. Knocks on the head happen not that infrequently but rarely do they produce an injury as stark as this.
I'd suggest the inquisitions on Hughes' short ball technique could be put on ice just for the moment, too.

yep
no doubt that pace bowlers would love seeing the batsmen jumping around in their crease, and hobbling and hoping around after a toe-crunching yorker, but that would be the extent..
This would be a shit day for the bowler...
Dickie Bird tells the story of Windies batsman Phil Simmons being struck in the head by a bouncer. According to Bird, if they hadn't been playing within spitting distance of once of the best hospitals in the world for head trauma, Simmons would have died.

The whole game? The reports I'm reading is the days play. But obviously new information is coming out all the time.
I agree it should be called off. When Richard Osbourne was 'CPR'ed in the middle of the SCG that time in the ambulance, the game went on. Pretty crazy really.

If a player was administered CPR on the boundry then they have no other choice but to say lets come back tomorrow.
Until they hear he is in hospital safe, the last thing players will want to do is play.
Pretty sure players will have been offered counselling and one or two will be taking it up this arvo.

I could be wrong, conflicting information everywhere.

Cheers for that. Makes a lot more sense now. As said St Vincents is one of Sydney's best hospitals and is 5 minute drive away.

That seems a lot more concerning to me, how bad does a situation have to be that you have to fly the specialists in?

Cricket NSW could not confirm whether Phil Hughes was alive when he left the ground.
This is sickening.
