Cricketer Who Delivered Ball That Killed Phil Hughes, Devasted And In Tears As He Leaves Hospital

Sean Abbott

Bowler Sean Abbott, 22 years of age, was the one who threw the ball that killed Philip Huges in an unintentional accident on November 25th. He was being comforted as he leaves the St Vincent's hospital were Philip was confirmed dead.

Sean is said to be inconsolable, though he's getting a lot of support from family, friends and fans of late Philip Hughes. Nobody blames him for his death. See more photos after the cut.
