The Test should go ahead but with a Rest Day after the Fourth Day which should be dedicated to the memory of Phil Hughes.

With all due respect these types of decisions should not be left to those who are in an emotional state. It's a dreadfully sad, tragic loss but I think the most respectful thing that can be done is to play the match as scheduled with due minute of silence before play, as has been the tradition for other players who have passed. If Hughes was as humble as they say, I'm sure he would think cancelling a session was a bit much. Doff your cap, lower your bat and then play the game he loved.

I love cricket, and was shocked to the core when I heard of Phillip's death. I can understand the team's feelings, but do think that the !st Test should be played as scheduled as it will make the team stronger, bringing them together, playing the game that he loved so much.

Phillip Hughes loved cricket. I'm sure he would want the game to go ahead as scheduled.
