Phil Hughes in Sean Abbott's thoughts 'every waking minute'

The former England bowler Peter Lever says Phil Hughes' condition will be all Sean Abbott thinks of.

South Australia batsman Hughes is in a critical condition after being hit by a bouncer bowled by New South Wales player Abbott at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Hughes was carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital where he was put in an induced coma following surgery.

In 1975 New Zealand's Ewen Chatfield was hit on the temple with a bouncer. He fell to the floor unconscious and almost died. The bowler on that day was Peter Lever and he's been discussing his memories of that day.
