The left-hander, who has played 26 Tests for Australia and been involved in three Ashes series, has had surgery and is in an induced coma in intensive care. The 25-year-old, playing for South Australia against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), was struck on the side of his helmet by a Sean Abbott delivery and collapsed face-first to the ground shortly afterwards.

Horrified spectators watched as paramedics performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the batsman and treated him on the boundary for around 40 minutes. He was then taken from the field on a medicab and flown to St Vincent's Hospital by helicopter. Hughes arrived at the hospital on life support, St Vincent's spokesman David Faktor told Daily Mail Australia. He underwent scans as soon as he arrived and was then taken in for surgery. 'He's in the best of hands, he has loved ones here,' Mr Faktor said. 'He's in ICU now, they've finished the surgery's but he's still in a critical condition. Now they'll just monitor him.' Reports in Australia said Abbott was receiving counselling after the incident. The 22-year-old made his first-class debut for New South Wales - with Hughes also in the team - back in 2011. Sutherland said in a statement: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with Phil Hughes right now. We are also thinking of his family, team-mates and friends in the Australian cricket family. 'His welfare is our highest priority. We're also naturally concerned about all of those involved in today's game and will be giving them our utmost support.' Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said in a statement: 'Phillip Hughes suffered a severe head injury while batting for South Australia at the SCG today 'Phillip was treated on the ground by Cricket NSW medical staff and transferred by ambulance to St Vincent's Hospital.'He subsequently underwent surgery and remains in a critical conditions in the hospital's intensive care unit. Wednesday's Daily Telegraph in Australia and the Herald Sun are both praying for Hughes 'Unless there is any significant change there will be no further updates on his condition until tomorrow. 'Phillip is receiving the best possible medical care. The thoughts of his team-mates and the wider cricket community are with Phillip and his family and friends at this difficult time.' All the players who witnessed Hughes suffer his injury will be given counselling, Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) said. ACA chief executive Alastair Nicholson added: 'We were obviously shocked to learn of the seriousness of the incident involving Phil. 'While we have faith that he's receiving the best available treatment, the situation will impact his family, friends, and those directly involved on the field. 'The ACA is therefore working closely with CA to arrange the appropriate counselling for those affected.' Before the incident, the opener had scored a composed 63 off 161 balls and looked to be in good form to claim Clarke's vacant Test batting spot in next week's opening Test with India. His injury prompted officials to call an early tea break with SA at 136 for two but play was then abandoned for the day. 'Clearly the priority is Phil's health and we want to keep his family fully informed,' a Cricket NSW spokesman said. 'We don't have any updates on Phil's health at the moment.' Hughes was accompanied to hospital by NSW team doctor John Orchard. Australia team-mate David Warner, who was playing in the match, called Hughes a 'fighter' and a 'champion' Former Australian spinner Shane Warne tweeted his best wishes to Hughes National coach Darren Lehmann was one of many who led the well wishes for Hughes Helmet manufacturers Masuri sent a press release later in the day saying it was 'actively seeking as much TV and video footage of the incident as possible, to be able to see more conclusively exactly where the player was hit.' The company wished Hughes well but also tried to absolve itself of blame and even seemed to be trying to plug a new helmet. The statement went on: 'From the footage and pictures currently available to Masuri, it appears that Phil Hughes was struck by the ball to the rear of the grille and below the back of the shell, missing his Masuri Original Test model helmet. 'This is a vulnerable area of the head and neck that helmets cannot fully protect, while enabling batsmen to have full and proper movement. 'The newly-developed Masuri Vision Series helmet, which supersedes the 2013 helmet worn by Phil Hughes, does afford batsmen extra protection in this region – and still allows comfortable movement.' Hughes was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst for surgery Australia team doctor Peter Brukner is interviewed as he arrives at St Vincent's Hospital England cricketers past and present, including James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Michael Vaughan and Paul Collingwood, tweeted messages of support. The England and Wales Cricket Board also posted on Twitter: 'Thoughts with Phil Hughes and his family from all at ECB. Get well soon.' Hughes has been in and out of Australia's Test side since making his debut in 2009 and has not featured in over a year. He was in line for a potential recall for the first Test against India next month, with captain Clarke a serious doubt with a hamstring injury. Quote:

He featured in the Ashes series in England in 2009 and 2013 the series Down Under in 2010-2011. Hughes was also well known to fans of English county cricket after spells at Middlesex, Hampshire and Worcestershire. Australian national coach Darren Lehmann tweeted: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with phil and his family! 'He is a great fighter and a great young man!' Test cricketer Peter Siddle wrote: 'Sad to hear about my little mate Hughsey. Thoughts go out to him and his family. Stay strong brother! X' Hughes has played in 26 Tests and 25 one-day internationals for Australia Quote:

Phillip Hughes Death:
Doctors Reveal Cricket Ball Split his Artery, which led to 'Catastrophic' Bleeding on the Brain Phillip Hughes died aged 25 after being hit on the head by a bouncer
Doctors who treated Phillip Hughes after he was struck on the side of the head by a cricket ball have described the condition he died from as 'incredibly rare' and 'very freakish'. Team doctor Peter Brukner said on Thursday that only a hundred cases of vertebral artery dissection had ever been reported. Hughes died on Thursday aged 25 after being hit on the head by a cricket ball while playing for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. There's only one previous case ever reported as a result of a cricket ball,' Dr Brukner said. St Vincent's Hospital head of trauma Tony Grabs said he had never encountered the condition before. 'We haven't seen this type of injury at this hospital, it's very rare, very freakish,' Dr Grabs said. The ball hit Hughes on the side of his neck at Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday and compressed his verbal artery which carries blood to the brain. It caused the artery to split and led to a 'massive bleed' in the brain, which Dr Brukner said was 'frequently fatal'. Doctors said on Thursday only a hundred cases of vertebral artery dissection had ever been reported Doctors who Treated Phillip Hughes Explain What Happened Tragic....RIP Phillip . |
