Australian cricketers have turned to social media to drive the flow of emotions four years after the tragic death of Phillip Hughes.
The Australian drummer died on November 27, 2014 from a staggering incident, two days after being hit on the back of the neck while he was fighting for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match against NSW at SCG.
The investigation into the death of the star in 2016 revealed that Hughes had died due to the force of a bouncer at 152 km / h, launched by the very fast Blues Sean Abbott.
Tragedy is always the darkest day of Australian cricket.
For those who have had the chance to know Hughes – and the big family of Australian Cricket – the injury is still keen.
Australian cricket commentator and co-author of Hughes 'biography, Peter Lalor, said Tuesday that Hughes' death will still be the most traumatic period in the history of the sport.
"It was shocking days, even weeks and not just for me, I was certainly not the only one feeling what I felt about it," Lalor told Macquarie Sports Radio. Halftime with James Willis.
"We had a united nation, I think the world of cricket was united for this story.
"We remember the Kiwis who had stopped playing. The halls in England were very dark that night, they said as they heard the news.
"It spread in the cricket community and it was a horrible time. Obviously, Phillip was not going to improve.
"I think I knew that night he was not going to live and if he did, it was not worth it.
"It was certainly the most difficult time the game has ever faced."
It was obviously no easier for former Hughes team-mates and members of the Australian cricket fraternity.
Suspended Captain Steve Smith released a moving tribute to Hughes on Tuesday.
The game has followed his lead.
Hughes would have turned 30 on Friday, November 30th.
