"63 Not Out"

I couldn't help but think how eerie Mike's blog title would have been if Hughesy had of hit one more 4 before that tragic ball was bowled.
But there are always plenty of "what ifs" to ponder when something like this happens.
And nothing can ease the pain of a young man like Phil passing away like that.
