I've been trying to upload it on tinypic but it's not working

Can't concentrate on work now. Hope he pulls through this ok. :-\

Him actually getting hit didn't look too bad, especially considering he was still standing. What was bad was him then swaying and falling flat on his face

Cricket NSW could not confirm if Phil Hughes was alive when he left the SCG

He was being supported by his bat though, he kept himself propped up using it before he swayed and fell.

Latest update I saw on Twitter said he was in a stable condition.

Edit: 7 News saying that reports are saying he's in a critical condition.

Holy Shower  :-[

[PowerBug]

Yeah ABC News 24 said it was a critical condition :\

[Mailman the 2nd]

It's said his condition had improved when the ambulance took him away

[Jay]

Devastated.. My boy :'(

Thoughts with the Hughes family.

Holy shower. I heard he got hit badly and I just assumed he got hit in the head and concussion like Ben Rohrer a couple of weeks ago which looked awful but wasn't life threatening or anything, then I saw that the games play had been abandoned, which I thought was weird. That is such horrific news, really hope he's ok. Clearly cricket takes a back seat when something like this happens.

[roo boys!]

Very scary stuff...hoping and praying for a positive outcome from this. Anxiously waiting to hear the updates, can't imagine how his family is feeling.
