Doesn't look good for Hughes.
Looked away from the stream for a moment, put it back on and Hughes is on the deck, helmet off, clutching his face with Blues players all around him calling for help/medics

Stretcher out.

Phil Hughes knocked out by bouncer at SCG
There are serious concerns for South Australian batsman Phil Hughes after he was hit on the side of the head by a bouncer by Sean Abbott during a Sheffield Shield clash against NSW at the SCG.

After appearing to be struck in the head Hughes stood, looked at his feet and crashed face-first into the pitch. The NSW players and umpires called for help immediatley.

Hughes is unbeaten on 61 and fighting for a berth in the squad for the first Test next week with the likely exclusion of skipper and No.4 batsman Michael Clarke due to a hamstring injury.

The thing that concerns me is he was on his feet for several seconds before collapsing. Being knocked out suddenly just from the impact would be less worrying.

Hope he is OK.

Yep, never anything personal against Hughes, he's a nice enough fella.
Really hoping he's ok and young Abbott and the rest of the guys who saw it are ok too.
