I know they have retired Phil's ODI number 64…but they should print and sell his named and numbered ODI shirts to the public at all the Tests / ODIs this summer with the money being donated to various hospitals / brain-head trauma units and as a tribute to a lovely bloke.
Especially good for the kids who are grasping with the tragedy. It's horrible having to explain what happened, and my 5 1/2 and 3 year olds don't really understand, but my older son said to me yesterday when we were in the backyard that he won't pretend to be Phil anymore when we play (my son runs through the names of Australian batsmen pretending to be each and every one of them). F***ing broke my heart.
Wearing Phil's ODI number/named jersey may just inspire a whole new generation of children to take up (and continue playing) the game that Phil Hughes so very much loved playing. Might make some old, hard heads like me get past it too.
Just a thought.
