    Vale Phillip Hughes

    The cricket community is invited to celebrate Phillip’s life and share your memories below



    • December 4 2014 6:39 AM
      We have seen over the past week how many people right around the world have been touched by the passing of Phil Hughes. The boy from a NSW country town who grew to be a fine opening batsman for 2 states and of course, also in the baggy green. To Phil's family, our support and thoughts go out to you as you endure no doubt the toughest period of your lives to date. Stay strong. To Phil, RIP mate. You will be missed by many and remembered by many more.

        Our heart goes out to Phil's Mum Dad brother & sister and all his cricketing mates.We lost our son & brother on the Cricket field & we know just what you are going through. The greatest strength for you will be your faith in God & the wonderful cricketing community which has supported us & stood by us these last 12 years. Gob bless & strengthen you.

          Loved the way you never gave up and kept bouncing back. You epitomised the aussie spirit
          • December 4 2014 12:30 AM
            Philip, you are one of the Australia's great batsman and you will always be remembered in our hearts....miss you man..!
            • December 3 2014 11:40 PM
              I am sad in so many ways, Phillip. I have cried because you didn't get to fulfil your dream of scoring many more hundreds for Australia, cried that we all didn't get to cheer you on as you did it, cried for your family and your friends who love you and will feel an emptiness inside for the rest of their lives. When you first were picked for Australia, you were reported as saying, "And so it begins." We are heartbroken to have to say, "And so it ends." Farewell and God speed, Phillip.
              • December 3 2014 11:03 PM
                I believe he was on the verge of greatness. What a shame.
                • December 3 2014 10:22 PM
                  During your life you have touched so many people and lives, you've no idea the impact your dead has had. You'll be so sadly missed. Forever NOT OUT
                  RIP Phillip
                  • December 3 2014 10:11 PM
                    So so sad and upsetting. Tears will flow for a while. Thoughts and prayers with the Hughes family
                    • December 3 2014 7:39 PM

                        GOD BLESS YOU MATE. SUCH A SAD SAD LOSS. THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS EXTREMELY SAD TIME. REST NOW MATE. FROM LEE AND FAMILY IN UK
                        • December 3 2014 6:13 PM
                          Hughesy, your death has touched me greatly, you were my favourite player and Australia is a worse off place without you here. I drove 10 hours all up yesterday to be at your funeral and what a day it was. Rest In Peace young man Rest in Peace......

                            For Phillip Hughes...you will always be remembered:

                            Seasons come, seasons go-
                            But the Sun shines over snow;
                            Cool wind, over wounds, will blow,
                            Healing them but keeping memories alive- like embers in ashes aglow.
                            The green will be deeper still,
                            The gold will be spun from a stronger mill;
                            For all the moments-big and small,
                            For everytime you picked 'em up after a fall.
                            There's no saying we know it all,
                            But some things- they wake you up, give you a call.
                            Bowing to a life that will live on....
                            A Star so bright, shining at the break of dawn...
                            • December 3 2014 5:35 PM
                              Phil Hughes was a champion,it was a tragady
                              • December 3 2014 5:26 PM
                                From the first time I saw Phillip with his father on TV, I knew he was special. Such a wonderful family, such tragedy. Having lost an adult child as well, I know the road will be a hard one. The strength of the family will prevail. God bless you all.
                                • December 3 2014 5:15 PM
                                  Vale Phillip Hughes, this is just not cricket, as it was once said. Forever continue your innings on that batting paradise on the pitch in the sky, gone but forever not out.
                                  • December 3 2014 4:46 PM

We will miss you and grieve but we must as all good batsmen do ....get on the front foot and advance our score to achieve the goals we set , just like you did , Phillip Joel Hughes. Rest In Peace we will never forget you.....Paul Brien President Moore Park South East Cricket Association , for and on behalf of all members.

                                      Our son Ryan (who lost his life 5 years ago) fondest cricket moment was that he troubled Phillip with his leg spin bowling & almost got him out in an Under 17's rep carnival at Newcastle. At least Ryan now has a decent batsman to bowl to in heaven. Our love & thoughts are with Phillip's family & friends.
                                      • December 3 2014 3:52 PM
                                        R.I.P buddy, a proud world class Australian cricketer who will be greatly missed. You're name Philip Hughes will live on forever. My heart goes out to his friends and family.. Always and forever, 403

                                            Thank you Phillip for the opportunity to become such a proud Australian. Your sad passing has brought out the best in our fragile humanity.

                                                        You gave more to the game than anyone shoud have to give. Every match played will now be your memorial.

                                                          R.I.P Hughesy!!! You were a little pocket dynamo who never gave up on your dream of wearing that baggygreen. When the chips were down you always pulled yourself up.

                                                          The cricket community is 1 big family.....the sport will not be the same without you little champ. Thoughts are with you and your family. #Forever 63NotOut #ValeHughes

                                                              Tenacious. That's how I thought of you. Persistent little bugger - he's determined. And such a good lad. I thought for sure you'd come through. For. Sure. Which has made it all so much harder to face.

                                                              As a parent, the pain for you and yours is too much to think of. As a long, long time cricket follower - it's really brought home just how intimately we are all connected - lads, larrikins, drop kicks or tools - you're all part of our families and our shared histories, your triumphs and your challenges, we felt them with you, and it's hit hard. Just so damnably inexplicable. You'll always be here. I expect to see you opening somewhere - 'cause you were that bloody tenacious.

                                                              Go well. I hope that you're feeling the love x

                                                                                His: the hope to make the test again...

                                                                                The ball was jammed-the batsmen dead.
                                                                                Sixty-three not out it will forever be said.

                                                                                "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

I loved seeing you play for Australia and especially the Redbacks & Strikers. It'll be really difficult watching those teams knowing you won't be there but I know you'll be smiling down on your mates and cheering them on. You're an amazing person who's made the world a better place. Love, prayers and thoughts to the Hughes family. RIP Phillip Hughes

It was a scorching hot January day when we cheered the first Australian to score a century on debut. The only surprising thing for me that day was not how brilliantly you played but that it was your debut. I will remember you in that day, dominating out in the middle at the G. Rest in peace, Phil.

You have touched the hearts of SO many around you- whether they be family, mates or just cricket fans! Although you're physically gone, you'll be with us in spirit
                                                                                                    • December 3 2014 4:38 AM

                                                                                                      Each time one of our batsman hit it over sqaure leg for six or makes a centuary you will be there with them. Each time a fielder catches a screamer you are there.

                                                                                                      Phil to your family my condolences.

                                                                                                        Isaiah 57:1-2 from the New Living Translation

                                                                                                        "Good people pass away;the godly often die before their time.But no one seems to care or wonder why?"....No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.....For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
