Just watching the Cricket on Sky and wanted to post my message that I put on Facebook

Good Luck Australia. Hope the best team wins and its a great game of cricket in the memory of one of your men. ‪#‎cricket‬ ‪#‎RIPPhilHughes‬ I hope that Clarke gets a big Ton in his honour.

A great sport, that will rise triumphantly from the ashes in my humble opinion.

I love football but I love cricket more, cricket has been my life. I've met some great people along the way and no sport lets people like me play against International superstars or players like I have had the opportunity to play against over the years. Thats not meant to sound about me, its meant to talk about the game.

Its not for everybody, but if you get to know and understand the game, it is. My wife and kids watch, and the social aspect is second to none.

Plus it summer.

RIP Philhughes

Couldn't agree more. Cricket's a magnificent sport that totally eclipses football for me. Been involved with it for 45 years as a player and more recently behind the scenes, and loved every minute of it. All of my best friends are people I've met through cricket.

My wife, who is German and therefore doesn't have a hope of understanding cricket, works in the club bar and attends social events. Her daughter learnt to score - something I never managed when batting!

The recent tragedy has brought all cricket people together in respect of the late Phil Hughes. RIP Phil, and best wishes to Sean Abbott too.
