Now as sad as it is, can't the media give it a rest. Really the families don't need to be reminded every 1/2 hour.

And although it's nice the queen and prime minister and elton john give all nice tributes, people die in tradjic accidents every day. Where is the tributes for these guys? http://www.9news.com.au/world/2014/11/29/06/09/australian-tourists-die-in-tanker-crash

I have been thinking the same.  Especially when one news report I watched was about a young mother with two children who had just passed away from cancer and then hammered again about Phillip Hughes.  It just seemed to lessen the importance of the mother's death.  And then all the talk about cancelling games etc.  I am sure there are lots of us who have had friends and or work colleges die (and yes, even get killed at work) and you just get on with work.  You have too.  These test players are well paid. This is their job.  We all know this was a terrible tragedy, but move on.   Kevin
