Cricket will this week mark 10 years since one of its toughest days, when Hughes’s life was cruelly ended playing the game he loved. His death, two days after being struck by a ball while batting at the SCG for South Australia, triggered weeks of mourning across the country.

Most cricket lovers will remember where they were on November 27 2014, when they learnt that Phillip Hughes had died after two agonising days of hoping for better news from Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital.
