SA Footy

Do SA and NSW play for any sort of trophy?

I reckon a Phil Hughes trophy in the same vein as the David hookes one would be appropriate.

Yep agreed.
Also naming the Domestic Player of the year award after him would be fitting also. The one they give out on AB Medal Night

The scorecard for this game has been altered to list Hughes at no out on 63, rather than retired hurt on 63, as he wasn't actually replaced by another batsman

I can't even imagine how the redbacks will get through this season. the pain of just seeing his vacant locker would be emotional enough before taking the field. Results for the rest of this season are almost irrelevant. The boys need the strength to just take the field and continue on without their mate.

Don't forget that after David Hookes passed, Victoria went on to win the shield. But at this point I hope we can just get 11 blokes on the park to field a team then worry about winning games.

I feel terribly for all the players that were there. Haddin made a lunge to try & catch Phil as he fell, Warner was right there & ran to the boundary to get help, Abbot holding his head - heart breaking, Tom Cooper who lived with him & was batting with him & took Phils pads off carefully on the boundary.
Callum Ferg & Cosgrove who had batted with him for long periods earlier in the day & lots others.
All the talk & concern has been about the Aust players & fair enough but not much has been really mentioned about the welfare of the SA boys, who had to return home without their mate. He had played a lot more with the SA lads in recent times.
