He was, but apparently he just went down "like he'd been shot". Sounds really, really bad.
um so hughes is kinda hunched over....and then just falls face first into the ground and it's really distressing to watch so dont do it.

Holy **** this is horrendous.

Didn't see it - was it the temporal? Big artery running through a very thin bone. Only thing I can think which would cause him to be so bad.

There's rumours he was hit in the heart and had a heart attack now.
no he was hit in the head and he went into cardiac arrest

^should add that that's what's being reported, but who knows

3.26pm: Peter Lalor reports that Hughes was breathing when he left the SCG and has been taken to St Vincent’s hospital.

NSW Cricket doctor John Orchard attended him on the field and went in the ambulance with him. The helicopter which landed on the field was not used.

the actual delivery is probably fine to watch, but yeah turn off when he's hunched over and never come back

Fox sports always do this **** and it's ****ing awful. They showed Alex McKinnon's tackle a bloody hundred times over on the night it happened in graphic detail, even after it was well known he was in serious strife.

Cricket NSW could not confirm whether Phil Hughes was alive when he left the ground.
