#3 Death of Phillip Hughes, 27 November 2014

Hughes collapsed after being struck by a bouncer

Phillip Hughes was a dashing young batsman, who was being touted by many as the future of Australian cricket. Having had an impressive start to his career at the junior level, Hughes had very smoothly made the transition to senior cricket, and had notched up 50+ scores in each of his first three Test innings. While his form suffered subsequently he was still a part of Australia's plans for the future.

However, the promising cricketer's life was cut short in a Sheffield Shield game against New South Wales. When batting on 63, a bouncer from Sean Abbott felled him and he collapsed on the field. Hughes was never to wake again and he succumbed to his injuries two days later, putting an end to a brief yet promising career.
