ON the third anniversary of the late batsman’s tragic death, cricketers and fans alike have remembered the boy from Macksville.

Australia players wore black armbands bearing the late Phillip Hughes’ initials on the final day of the first Magellan Ashes Test on the third anniversary of his tragic death.

Opener David Warner looked skywards upon reaching 63 not out, the same tally Hughes was on when he was fatally struck during a Sheffield Shield match in 2014, in Australia’s second innings in Brisbane yesterday.

The Barmy Army, England’s famed group of travelling supporters, also made a touching tribute to the late batsman by singing ‘there’s only one Phillip Hughes’ to the tune of ‘Winter Wonderland’ during the opening session of day five at the Gabba.

Players from around the world took to social media yesterday to pay their respects to the much-loved left-hander from Macksville.
