Silence speaks volumes

IT could have been on any ground, anywhere in Australia on Saturday as a nation mourned for Phillip Hughes, the prodigiously talented 25-year-old left hander who passed away last Thursday with the world seemingly at his feet. Tooradin president Rick Holland led the Seagulls’ Sub-District side in a minute’s silence as cricketers from all over the country put out their bats…and laid bare their hearts…for a tragedy that has touched us all. For a full review of a round of cricket that was played in sunshine, but clouded with sadness, turn to page 46.
