In order that a 6 would be impossible to hit the Australians rolled the last ball so the batsman had no chance of hitting a 6.
    The rules were then changed unsurprisingly!

    *Describing anything in Cricket always takes about 10 scrapped wordings as you realise that an American or Canadian will have NO clue what you are talking about.
    That was really bad sportsmanship too,he talked it out with his next in command and they rolled it on down. total shit, also put a stain on an otherwise great career.Everyone regretted it after the act the news went world wide made fronts of news papers etc.

    Respect to Hughes and family the funeral is today.

    Maybe cricket is the most followed sport out here I would have thought it was Aussie rules,maybe not generally speaking.Our whole state stops for a horse race and we dont get this coverage or general public grief when a famous jockey passes.

    Cricket has to be one of the most popular sports in the world.
