Thanks gents, commuting into the city holding back tears on the train. Your little insight about Phillip Hughes's mum insisting on him being called Phillip hit me right where it hurts, my Mum's the same. It made me realise that cricket journalism is not a series of reported facts, that cricket journalism is the stories that enmesh themselves into the game and give the game it's meaning. Powerful stuff. Cheers.
