2014
The cricket world received a terrible jolt when Phillip Hughes died at the age of 25 after being struck by a bouncer on the side of his head, below the helmet. Playing a Shield game in Sydney, Hughes was hit when he missed an attempted hook, causing a cerebral haemorrhage. He underwent surgery after being rushed to hospital from the SCG but did not regain consciousness. His hometown, Macksville, came to a standstill for his funeral on December 3, which was attended by cricketers of every stripe, and dignitaries including the Australian prime minister Tony Abbott.

True deaths are rare and now if you get hit, there is an immediate response.

3. My husband is addicted to The Willow Channel

an Indian channel that came with his sports package (a retirement gift from moi) and now is an avid cricket fan.

And from cricket it's only one step to Australian rules football.
