It’s hard to believe that it’s four months since the tragic death of cricketer Phil Hughes.
The Australia captain Michael Clarke paid his close friend and former team-mate the ultimate tribute on Sunday when they won the Cricket World Cup, dedicating the victory to the ’16th man’ in their squad.
This was the latest in a long line of wonderful tributes to Hughes
Perhaps the most memorable of these was the touching #putoutyourbats campaign that spread from one home in Melbourne across the world in a matter if minutes in the wake of Hughes’ death last November.
Twitter have now released a short film explaining just how the world united in an outpouring of grief and respect for a young man who lost his life playing a game he loved and excelled at. The resulting film is moving and poignant.
We made this short film about #PutOutYourBats. An amazing story that brought us together #CWC15https://t.co/LQgGZhCM9W
