The next Cricket game that gets made should be called "Phil Hughes Cricket"and we can all play as Phil Hughes.

Most Cricket games are named after someone(Shane Warne,Brian Lara,Don Bradman)

The best i idea i have heard is NSW and SA play for the Phil Hughes trophy, and i liked El D's about CA putting some money in to build a stand in the local ground at Macksville in his honour.

why don't they already play for the Bradman trophy?

NSW and QLD could play for the Border trophy

maybe they just don't that kind of thing in domestic Cricket

Clive Churchill has a stand and a medal

you're not making much sense

Border has two ovals as well. one in Sydney and one in Brisbane

NZ have taken 2 wickets so far today. No jubilation. No celebration. Their heads and their hearts are 7481 miles from Sharjah.

If the Gabba test isn't played on Thursday, would they postpone it, or would they call if off because of a tight schedule to follow?

2nd test starts om the 12th and the first is scheduled from December 4 to 8

Watching the black caps test is surreal. They've taken 7 wickets in the session but no one is congratulating anyone out there. They just look totally shell shocked.

I think a lot of ideas raised have merit including this one, its great we are thinking how to keep the Phil Hughes name around forever

But for me, given the huge international outpouring of grief, id look to honour him through an international way. A day in a test match seems very warranted. Its the pinnacle of cricket. The baggy green is something Phil fought for with hard work and persistence and never gave up on it. Not to honour him in a test match somehow, considering his next game was a test match doesn't seem right (to me)

Every test nation would be able to play in a Phil Hughes day test match, how good would that be? It will hopefully inspire other youngsters like Phil to aspire to play test cricket, and the legacy is to never give up fighting for the baggy green, wether you have played 0 tests or 26 like Hughes. We have seen how the momentum jane McGrath day has done for the McGrath charity and also test cricket for the SCG test. A Phil Hughes day would be just as important and successful

Im sure something will be done eventually to honour him, and whatever it is ill get 100% behind it and support it till my dying days

i like the idea of having the 1st day of the 1st test of the aussie summer being called phil hughes day. they can have 63 seconds of silence before the game commences..
